What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Military Affairs must award grants to

public safety answering points, more commonly known as 911 call centers, for a

variety of purposes related to advanced 911 operations, known as Next Generation

911. In addition, under a separate grant program, DMA must award grants to county

land information offices for the purpose of preparing geographic information systems

data to help enable Next Generation 911.

This bill creates an additional grant program under which DMA must award

grants to incumbent local exchange carriers operating as originating service

providers for the reimbursement of the incumbent local exchange carriers' certain

various costs associated Next Generation 911. An “incumbent local exchange

carrier” is defined under the bill to have the same meaning as it does under federal

law. An “originating service provider” is an entity that provides a service that may

be used to generate a request for emergency assistance and that may connect to an

emergency number system.
