PART XX. Department of Insurance
DOI TO STUDY FIRE PROTECTION GRANT FUND

SECTION 20.1.(a) The Department of Insurance shall study how the fund distribution method for the State Fire Protection Grant Fund could more fully meet the requirement of G.S. 58 85A 1(b) that the distribution method be equitable and uniform. The study shall consider the following factors, as well as any other factors the Department finds relevant:

(1) Whether the basis for determining the amount of compensation due a local fire district or political subdivision for providing local fire protection to State owned buildings and their contents actually reflects the cost to the local fire district or political subdivision of providing the fire protection services.

(2) How the division in funds among properties supported by the General Fund, properties supported by the Highway Fund, and properties supported by The University of North Carolina receipts required by G.S. 58 85A 1(c) should be revised to support fire protection services provided to State owned properties not receiving support from those Funds or receipts.

SECTION 20.1.(b) The Department shall report its findings and any recommendations for revision of the fund distribution method to the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on General Government and to the Fiscal Research Division on or before October 1, 2012.
