What’s in it
AI summary Currently, 911 program managers can ask local service boards to pay back certain costs for delivering emergency calls. This bill would stop that practice by removing the manager's power to ask for money and ending the requirement for boards to pay those costs.1
Read the official explanation
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.
