Synopsis: Local government reorganization. Provides that in the case
of a governmental reorganization involving municipalities and
townships that are participating units in a fire protection territory on the
date the reorganization is approved by voters, the fiscal body of the
reorganized political subdivision may establish an equipment
replacement fund and impose a property tax for the fund in the same
manner as participating units in a fire protection territory may do so.
Specifies that if such a reorganized political subdivision establishes an
equipment replacement fund, the department of local government
finance (DLGF) may adjust the maximum property tax levy that would
otherwise apply to the reorganized political subdivision in the same
manner as the DLGF may adjust the maximum property tax levy of a
civil taxing unit to meet the civil taxing unit's obligations to a fire
protection territory.
