What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a town board is required to provide for fire protection for the

town. Fire protection for the town, or any portion of the town, may be provided in

any manner, including: establishing a town fire department, joining with another

municipality to establish a joint fire department, contracting with another person,

or utilizing a fire company.

Under this bill, a town meeting may designate the manner of providing fire

protection for the town, or any portion of the town. If the town meeting designates

a manner for providing fire protection for the town, or any portion of the town, the

town board is required to provide fire protection in that manner.
