The law currently provides that the petition must contain a proposal for funding a district, with a request that the funding proposal be submitted to the qualified voters residing in the proposed district. These sections require the TDD petition to set forth the estimated project costs and the anticipated revenues to be collected from the project. These sections remove the word "residing" since that term is inconsistent with the portion of the TDD law that allows districts to be formed where there are no residents in the proposed district. These sections provide for the deannexation of property from a transportation development district but only with the unanimous consent of the property owners and the removal of such property will not materially affect the obligations of the district. These sections modify the process for submitting TDD plans to the state highways and transportation commission. The act provides for preliminary approval of a project by the commission.

This section shall not prohibit a fire protection district, municipal fire department, or volunteer fire association from accepting assistance when requested from another such entity during an emergency without a vote of the governing body.

Sections 320.200, 320.271, 320.300 & 320.310

These sections define a "fire department" as an agency or organization that provides fire suppression activities. The term fire department shall include any municipal fire department, fire protection district, or voluntary fire protection association engaging in this type of activity. These sections also require "volunteer fire protection associations" to provide fire suppression and related activities.

Under these sections, all fire protection districts, volunteer fire protection associations, and fire department must complete and file a fire department registration form with the State Fire Marshal with 60 days after January 1, 2008 and annually thereafter. The state Fire Marshal may issue an identification number to each registered entity and conduct periodic reviews of the information provided on the registration forms.

This section is identical to SB 393 (2007).

Section 321.800
