Dedicated county ad valorem tax -- Exception to tax levy recall provisions.
(1)Once an emergency services board assumes control over fire, ambulance, or

directly or through an agency of county government. If that is the case, a dedicated
ad valorem tax for the provision of fire, ambulance, and emergency squad services
exclusive of all other taxes may be levied by the county or counties. The provisions
of the ad valorem tax of KRS 65.670 shall apply.
(2)The initial levy of the ad valorem tax for the provision of funding to the emergency
services board under this section shall not be subject to the recall provisions of KRS
68.245 or 132.023, whichever is applicable. Subsequent changes to the amount shall
be subject to the provisions of KRS 68.245 or 132.023, whichever is applicable.
