The bill revises the reporting requirements for public safety answering points regarding the 911 emergency surcharge and the 911 Coordination Board. It amends the deadline for annual reports from July 31 to March 31, changing the reporting period from July 1 to July 1 to January 1 to December 31 of the previous year. The required contents of the report include the number of emergency service calls, total employees, operational budget, revenue from the 911 emergency surcharge, a description of the geographic territory, and hours of operation. Additionally, the Department of Public Safety is granted the authority to establish rules for additional reporting requirements.

Furthermore, the bill repeals a provision from the 2024 Session Laws that stated the expiration of the act on July 1, 2026. This repeal removes the sunset clause, allowing the revised reporting requirements to remain in effect indefinitely unless further amended or repealed by future legislation.
