This bill would allow fire protection districts to charge property owners a fee to help cover the costs of maintaining fire protection services. It also creates a new program requiring distilled spirits aging facilities to reimburse nearby property owners for cleaning costs caused by whiskey fungus, a dark mold that can grow on buildings near bourbon warehouses, and funds that program through a 25-cent fee charged to distillers for each barrel stored on January 1 of each year. Who it may affect: property owners near bourbon aging warehouses, distilled spirits producers, and residents in fire protection districts across Kentucky.
