Overview
This bill addresses how local fire districts can finance the purchase of firefighting equipment and vehicles. It allows fire districts to issue bonds with longer repayment terms (up to 10 years) and to utilize temporary financing options. The bill also modifies the state’s public contract laws to extend the length of contracts for leasing or servicing new fire apparatus, such as fire engines, up to 20 years. The committee made several amendments to remove provisions related to specific equipment standards and regulatory requirements.
