ID H0240

Increases the maximum property tax levy rate for ambulance service districts from four six-hundredths percent (.046%) to six-hundredths percent (.06%) of market value for assessment purposes in Idaho Code Section 31-3908.

Removes the requirement that an ambulance service district must have been created as of January 1, 1976, have a market value less than $300,000,000, and provide advanced life support paramedic services to be eligible for the increased levy rate.

Updates Idaho Code Section 63-802 to allow ambulance service districts with a prior year levy below six-hundredths percent (0.06%) to increase their budget up to that threshold with approval by 60% of voters voting at an election.

Permits the increased levy amount to be included in the annual budget for purposes of the budget limitation calculations and requires voter approval via election held on May or November dates.
