AN ACT concerning local government.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by adding Section
5-1028.2 as follows:
(55 ILCS 5/5-1028.2 new)
Sec. 5-1028.2. Emergency ambulance service.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a county may, by
ordinance, agree to provide emergency ambulance service to any
portion of a fire protection district that the county is
already providing emergency ambulance service through an
intergovernmental agreement. The ordinance to provide
emergency ambulance service under this Section must contain an
affirmative obligation on the part of the county to provide
emergency ambulance service to the fire protection district
once the intergovernmental agreement in effect at the time of
the ordinance expires.
An ordinance adopted under this Section does not take
effect until after the fire protection district adopts a
resolution under Section 22.1 of the Fire Protection District
Act to discontinue the emergency ambulance service and the
intergovernmental agreement for emergency ambulance service
between the county and the fire protection district has ended.

emergency ambulance service shall be the rate the county

Section 10. The Fire Protection District Act is amended by
adding Section 22.1 as follows:
(70 ILCS 705/22.1 new)
Sec. 22.1. Emergency ambulance service. Notwithstanding
any other provision of law, the board of trustees of a fire
protection district may, by majority vote of the board of
trustees, adopt a resolution to discontinue the district's
emergency ambulance service and to discontinue the district's
tax upon certification as provided by this Section if a county
that is already providing emergency ambulance service through
an intergovernmental agreement levies a tax for emergency
ambulance service under Section 5-1028 of the Counties Code
and the county has, by ordinance, agreed to assume the
emergency ambulance service at the expiration of the
intergovernmental agreement between the district and county. A

the county and the district that all criteria have been met
under this Section and Section 5-1028.2 of the Counties Code,

service under Section 22 unless the county repeals the

adopted under Section 5-1028. If the district elects to no
longer provide emergency ambulance service under this Section,
the election shall not be construed as affecting the

service under this Act.
