(65 ILCS 5/11-10-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-10-2)

Sec. 11-10-2. The corporate authorities of any municipality containing less than 250,000 inhabitants which has an organized fire department shall pass an ordinance providing for the election of officers of the department foreign fire insurance board by the members of the department. All members of the department shall be eligible to be elected as officers of the department foreign fire insurance board. These officers shall include a treasurer, and they shall make all needful rules and regulations with respect to the department foreign fire insurance board and the management of the money to be appropriated to the board. The officers of the department foreign fire insurance board shall develop and maintain a listing of those items that the board feels are appropriate expenditures under this Act. All of the money paid to the municipal treasurer as provided in Section 11-10-1 shall be set apart and shall be appropriated annually by the corporate authorities to the department foreign fire insurance board. The treasurer of the department foreign fire insurance board shall give a sufficient bond to the municipality in which the fire department is organized. This bond shall be approved by the mayor or president, as the case may be, conditioned upon the faithful performance by the treasurer of his or her duties under the ordinance and the rules and regulations provided for in this section. The treasurer of the department foreign fire insurance board shall receive the appropriated money and shall pay out the money upon the order of the department foreign fire insurance board for the maintenance, use, and benefit of the department. As part of the annual municipal audit, these funds shall be audited to verify that these purchases are for the maintenance, use, and benefit of the department.

The provisions of this Section shall be the exclusive power of the State, pursuant to subsection (h) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Constitution.
