Current Bill Summary

SB 1051 - This act allows St. Charles City to detach from the St. Charles County Ambulance District. St. Charles City may file with the district's board of directors a notice of intention of detachment stating the city's intent to be excluded and taken from the district. The filing of a notice of intention of detachment must be authorized by ordinance.

After filing the notice of intention of detachment, the city shall conduct a public hearing and give notice by publication as provided in the act. At the hearing, the city shall present its reasons why it desires to detach from the ambulance district and its plan to provide ambulance services to the city. Following the hearing, the governing body of the city may enact an ordinance approving the detachment with a majority of all members of the legislative body of the city voting in favor of the ordinance.

Upon the effective date of the ordinance, the ambulance district shall no longer provide ambulance services to the city and shall no longer levy and collect any tax upon the property included within the detached area.

This act shall not apply to any county in which a boundary commission has been established.
