Provides that a license fee may be recovered from a third party. Provides that a foreign fire insurance board's or board secretary's designee may examine the books, records, and other papers for verification purposes. Provides that the provisions are applicable to receipts from contracts of marine fire insurance (rather than the entire Section shall not be applicable to receipts from contracts of marine insurance).

Provides that binding arbitration is the exclusive method to solve disputes between a fire chief and the remaining members of a foreign fire insurance board concerning whether any expenditure of funds by the board is for the maintenance, use, or benefit of the department or for any other purpose authorized by the Division. Adds provisions concerning collection of licensing fees. Makes other changes. Effective January 1, 2023 (rather than effective immediately).
