Beginning in 2010, a municipality must spend each year for emergency services funded from shared revenue payments no less than the amount it spent in 2009, not counting capital expenditures and one-time expenses.

A municipality may decrease the amount it spends for emergency services below its 2009 amount, with the department of revenue’s approval, if the decrease in expenditures is a result of operating more efficiently, as determined by the department.
