What’s in it
AI summary Local emergency management commissions would now be treated as official local government boards when they create their budgets. This change ensures these groups follow the same rules as cities or counties when they manage money and property taxes.1
Read the official explanation
Under Code section 29C.17, a local emergency management agency’s approved budget is funded by one or any combination of several funding options, as determined by the local emergency management commission (commission), including a countywide special levy pursuant to Code section 331.424(1) under the county’s supplemental property tax levy authority in an amount sufficient to pay for the maintenance and operation of the local emergency management agency. This bill specifies the local emergency management commission to be a municipality and a certifying board for purposes of Code chapter 24 (local budgets). The bill applies to budgets for property taxes due and payable in fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2026.
