What’s in it

Under current law, the 911 program manager may request reimbursement from each joint 911 service board for certain reasonable costs related to the delivery of 911 call traffic to public safety answering points. Each joint 911 service board is required to reimburse the department of homeland security and emergency management within days of the request. This bill repeals the authority for the 911 program manager to request reimbursement and the requirement of each joint 911 service board to pay such reimbursement.
