Bill overview
This bill revises how revenue collected from county telephone surcharges, used for emergency 911 services and related equipment, can be spent. It allows counties to use the funds for construction, maintenance, and operation of telephone systems used for emergencies, as well as for portable event recording devices. The bill also increases the monetary threshold at which counties must reduce the surcharge amount to ensure the special revenue fund doesn't exceed a certain limit, with higher thresholds for larger counties. It establishes guidelines for advisory committees overseeing the fund’s use and requires a reduction in the surcharge if the fund balance exceeds a specified amount.
