Volunteer firefighter and ambulance tax break delayed

The law delays the start of a local property tax break for volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers who own homes. Local governments still choose whether to offer the exemption. Section 2 now takes effect six years after the act's effective date, instead of three years. This means eligible volunteer homeowners wait longer before any local tax savings can begin.
