What’s in it
AI summary Currently, any local government with a public safety agency in a county can vote on that county's 911 service board. This change would require those local governments to also be located within the same county to keep their voting rights. If a government agency serves a county but is located somewhere else, it would only be allowed to participate without voting.1
