AI Summary

  • Sets the fee paid by foreign fire insurance companies to foreign fire insurance boards at exactly 2% of gross receipts from fire insurance premiums on property within a municipality or fire protection district, eliminating the previous "not exceeding 2%" cap that allowed local variation

  • Grants foreign fire insurance boards the authority to establish and manage their own accounts, contract for goods and services, and sue to enforce their rights under the statute

  • Removes municipal authority to set foreign fire insurance fee rates by ordinance, making the 2% rate mandatory statewide

  • Allows foreign fire insurance boards aggrieved by violations to file suit in Circuit Court in the county where the violation occurred

  • Declares regulation of foreign fire insurance boards and their fees an exclusive state power, preempting home rule municipalities from regulating these matters
