(a) A property owner or an agent of the property owner authorized to make decisions regarding the use of the property may elect to exclude the municipality from receiving an alarm signal by an alarm system located on the owner's property. A municipality may adopt an ordinance that specifies the requirements a property owner must satisfy for an election to be made under this section.
(b) If an election is made under Subsection (a), the municipality:
(1) may not impose a fee to obtain a permit to use the alarm system;
(2) may impose a fee on the property owner, not to exceed $250, for each law enforcement response to a signal from the alarm system requested by an alarm systems monitor; and
(3) may not impose or collect any other fine, penalty, or fee, other than a collection fee, related to the alarm system.
