  1 11 agreement or both service agreements with a special charter
  1 12 city having a paid fire department, the township trustees may
  1 13 levy an annual tax not exceeding fifty-four cents per thousand
  1 14 dollars of the assessed value of the taxable property for the
  1 15 services authorized or required under section 359.42 and in a
  1 16 township which is located within a county having a population
  1 17 of three hundred thousand or more, the township trustees may
  1 18 levy an annual tax not exceeding sixty-seven and one-half
  1 19 cents per thousand dollars of assessed value of taxable
  1 20 property for the services authorized or required under section
  1 21 359.42.
  1 22    Sec. 2.  APPLICABILITY.  This Act applies to taxes due and
  1 23 payable in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2002.  
  1 24                           EXPLANATION 
  1 25    Current law allows townships to levy an amount not
  1 26 exceeding 60 3/4 cents per $1,000 of assessed value of the
  1 27 taxable property in the township for fire protection and
  1 28 emergency medical services.  In townships that contract with a
  1 29 special charter city to provide these services, the levy limit
  1 30 is 74 1/4 cents per $1,000 of value.  And, in townships
  1 31 located in a county with a population of 300,000 or more, the
  1 32 levy limit is 87 3/4 cents per $1,000 of value.
  1 33    The bill requires all townships to impose a minimum levy of
  1 34 30 cents per $1,000 of assessed value of the taxable property
  1 35 in the township for fire protection and emergency medical
  2  1 services.
