1 23 fire protection service or emergency medical service to
1 24 another municipality may create an advisory board comprised of
1 25 one member of the governing body of each municipality that is
1 26 a party to the agreement. The advisory board is required to
1 27 prepare an annual budget, and this budget is required to be a
1 28 part of the budget of the municipality providing the services.

1 31 canceled or expires. The bill makes the board's budget a
1 32 proposal and subject to the budgeting authority of the
1 33 municipality providing the services.
