STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31207 / H0530
This legislation increases the 911 fee that counties receive. The 911 fee was established in 1988 and has not
changed since that time. Many counties are unable to provide the 911 services required due to increasing costs
of the technologies. Additionally, there is the need to upgrade all systems. The system upgrades are not a
question of if, but when. The current infrastructure for the 911 system is standing on legacy technology that
will be removed and counties will have to have systems in place that will work on the new technologies.
FISCAL NOTE
This will not impact the general fund. Counties will receive an increase in 911 fees to help cover the costs of
maintenance, operation, and enhancement/upgrades to the emergency communication systems.
