SF 2267: Relating to the establishment of emergency response districts

What it does

This bill relates to the establishment of emergency response districts. Current law creates a pilot project authorizing a county to establish an emergency response district within the county. A commission composed of a member of the county board of supervisors, the county sheriff, and the mayor from each city within the district is responsible for governing the district and no member may appoint a designee to serve on the commission. Current law allows certain boards of supervisors to call for the creation of an emergency response district and notify the state fire marshal’s office if a motion to form a district has been adopted.
