Bill overview

This bill modifies how municipalities and counties in West Virginia collect fees for fire services. It prevents residents and businesses outside municipal boundaries from being charged both a municipal and county fire service fee simultaneously. The bill also outlines procedures for counties to establish fire service fees, including requiring voter approval through a referendum or county commission action. Furthermore, it addresses how municipalities can impose fees for essential services like police and fire protection, with specific provisions regarding voter approval and lien rights.
