STATE MANDATES NOTE, H-AM 1 (Department of Commerce and Community Affairs) In the opinion of DCCA, HB 1689 (H-am 1) creates a personnel mandate for which reimbursement of 100% of the increased costs to units of local government is required under the State Man- dates Act. An estimate of the increased costs to units of local government is not available at this time. However, HB 1689 (H-am 1) amends the State Mandates Act to require implementa- tion of its provisions without reimbursement. HOME RULE NOTE, H-AM 1 (Department of Commerce and Community Affairs) HB 1689 (H-am 1) contains language stating that a home rule or non-home rule municipality may not administer its fire depart- ment promotion process in a manner that is inconsistent with the Fire Department Promotion Act. This is a limitation on the concurrent excercise by home rule units of the powers and func- tions exercised by the State. Therefore, in the opinion of DCCA, HB 1689 (H-am 1) pre-empts home rule authority.
