Summary

The bill creates the 911 services enterprise in the department of
regulatory agencies (enterprise). The enterprise is authorized to impose
a fee on service users (fee). A service user is a person who is provided a
911 access connection in the state. The fee is set annually by the
enterprise and, together with the 911 surcharge that the public utilities
commission (commission) imposes on service users for the benefit of
meeting the needs of governing bodies to pay for basic emergency service
and provide emergency telephone service (911 surcharge), must not
exceed $0.50 per month per 911 access connection. The fee is collected
in the same manner as the 911 surcharge. Revenue from the fee will fund
expenses and costs related to the provision of 911 services, including:
  • Statewide training initiatives and programs and public
education campaigns;
  • Cybersecurity support;
  • GIS programs;
  • Grant programs for the benefit of governing bodies and
public safety answering points;
  • Providing matching funds for federal, state, or private
grants related to 911 services or emergency notification
services;
  • Any other items related to a statewide benefit for governing
bodies and public safety answering points for 911 services;
and
  • Administrative expenses of the enterprise.
The bill also creates the 911 services enterprise cash fund, adds a
requirement for the commission to include in its state of 911 annual
report the activity of the enterprise including its use of its revenue, and
makes several technical updates to the statutes concerning the 911
surcharge and the commission's state of 911 report.
