What’s in it

AI summary Local emergency management commissions will now have the power to set and collect a special property tax to pay for their own operations. This change takes that specific taxing authority away from the county and gives it directly to the emergency management commission instead. These new budget rules will start applying to property taxes for fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2024.1
