Summary

Amends the Fire Protection District Act. Provides that a home rule municipality may file a petition to disconnect fire protection district territory from the district if: the municipality's fire department services at least 80% of the municipality; the disconnection will not cause the territory of the district to be noncontiguous; and the loss of assessed valuation by reason of the disconnection of the territory will not impair the ability of the district to render adequate fire protection service to the territory remaining in the district. Provides that territory disconnected shall remain liable for its proportionate share of any bonded indebtedness outstanding as of the date of disconnection. Provides for petition, hearing, notice, and objection requirements. Further provides that if a court finds that the petition complies with the Section and that the allegations of the petition are true, the court shall order that the territory be disconnected.

Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill SB 2598 now includes new provisions requiring municipalities to conduct an economic impact analysis before disconnecting areas from fire protection districts. This analysis must be submitted to county clerks at least 90 days before any disconnection action and should evaluate projected growth and service costs over the next 10, 20, and 30 years. These changes matter because they aim to ensure that municipalities consider and communicate the potential impacts of such disconnections on both the community and the fire protection services, helping to prevent any unforeseen negative consequences.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a SB2598 Enrolled - 4 - LRB100 17399 AWJ 32565 b municipality shall file an economic impact analysis with the county clerk of each county in which a fire protection district is located no less than 90 days prior to filing any action to disconnect territory located both within the municipality and the fire protection district.
Each economic impact analysis shall include the following:
(1) a statement of existing and projected residential, nonresidential, and commercial growth in the territory within the fire protection district sought to be disconnected by the municipality for a 10-year period, a 20-year period, and a 30-year period;
(2) a statement of the costs of service incurred by the municipality in providing fire protection or emergency medical services after disconnecting the territory within the fire protection district;
(3) a statement that the loss of assessed valuation by reason of the disconnection of the territory will not impair the ability of the fire protection district to render fully adequate fire protection service to the territory remaining with the district;
(4) a statement of the probable positive or negative economic effect on businesses within the territory sought to be disconnected;
and (5) a statement of the probable positive or negative economic effect on residents within the territory sought to be disconnected.
SB2598 Enrolled - 5 - LRB100 17399 AWJ 32565 b (c) Within 30 days after the filing of an economic impact analysis required by subsection (b), a municipality shall serve a copy of the economic impact analysis on the board of trustees of each impacted fire protection district by certified or registered mail.
An affidavit that service of the economic impact analysis has been had as provided by this subsection must be filed with the clerk of the court in which the disconnection proceedings will be instituted.
Disconnection of territory is not effective unless service is certified by affidavit filed as provided in this subsection.
(d) The territory is disconnected from the Fire Protection District and annexed to the municipality effective on January 1 following the entry of a final court order finding that the petition meets the criteria set forth in this Section.
(e) A municipality, including a home rule municipality, may not disconnect territory from a fire protection district in a manner inconsistent with this Section.
