Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to Bill HB 1981 have made two significant changes. First, the new language removes the provision that allowed municipalities to charge fees for emergency fire and rescue services to non-residents, which means people living outside the municipality will not face additional costs for fire services. Second, the bill clarifies that in counties with a population over two million, the township assessor will serve as the ex-officio township collector after the current township collectors finish their terms, streamlining the tax collection process. These changes are important as they simplify governance and protect non-residents from unexpected charges for emergency services.
