Gaines’ bill to repeal fire fee fails in committee

April 10, 2013 — Although it received bi-partisan support, Senator Ted Gaines’ bill to repeal the illegal fire tax (Senate Bill 17), failed recently in the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Water on a four-to-three vote (with two members abstaining).

Senate Bill 17 would have reversed the governor’s and legislative Democrats’ decision to raise $84 million in taxes by charging rural property owners a fee for fire prevention services as part of the 2011-2012 budget. These communities are located in State Responsibility Areas designated by Calfire, even though their property taxes already contribute to the service contracts that counties have with Calfire.
