AN ACT relating to residency requirements for fire protection entities and declaring an emergency.

Summary

The measure rewrites Kentucky law on fire protection districts, requiring each board of trustees to have seven members – four elected residents (two firefighters, two property owners) and three appointed residents. It sets term lengths, vacancy‑filling, removal procedures, and election timing, and forces older districts to expand their boards. The changes aim to ensure local representation and accountability in fire protection oversight.
