What’s in it

This bill relates to E911 system repair and replacement. Under current law, moneys are collected through a monthly surcharge of $1 on originating service numbers in the state for 911 services and allocated by the director of the department of homeland security and emergency management (department) in a prescribed manner. The bill appropriates $2 million to the department for the purpose of providing grants to counties with populations between 16,000 and 16,500 to repair or replace E911 systems damaged or destroyed due to natural disasters in calendar year 2024. The bill allows the moneys to be available through the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
