SCS/SB 842 - This act changes the way fire districts can contract with cities within St. Louis County. Current law limits the compensation to a fee based on the tax rate used by the district multiplied by the assessed valuation of the city. This act allows for negotiation of an agreement based on any method of compensation to which the parties agree.

Only a city or village that does not have a fire department may contract for fire protection services.

This act has an emergency clause.
