What’s in it

This bill authorizes cities, following approval at election, to establish an emergency medical services fund and certify property taxes to be levied for the purpose of providing emergency medical service. The following conditions must also be met: (1) the city has not established an emergency medical services district under Code chapter 257G; (2) the city does not participate in an emergency response district under Code chapter 357J; and (3) the county or counties in which the city is located do not impose a levy pursuant to Code chapter 422D.

Read the full explanation

75 per $1,000 of assessed value. The question of whether the fund will be established, the time period during which the levy will be imposed, and the rate at which the tax will be levied is subject to approval by voters. The fund shall only be established and the tax shall only be imposed after an election at which percent of those voting on the question of imposing the tax vote in favor of the question. The questions may be submitted at any city election upon the council’s motion, or at the next regular city election upon receipt of a valid petition as provided by law. The emergency medical services levy may be terminated in the same manner it was approved, upon the council’s motion or upon petition.
