What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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. 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 advanced 911 operations.

This bill creates an additional grant program under which DMA must award grants to public safety answering points and counties for the development and maintenance of, and technical assistance for implementing, the county's or public safety answering point's capabilities for storing and accessing 911-caller-provided health, access, and functional needs information. At least 50 percent of the grants made by DMA under the program must be made to rural counties or public safety answering points located in rural counties. A grant awarded under the program must be for 80 percent of the total anticipated 911-caller-provided health, access, and functional needs information project cost, and the grant recipient shall secure the remaining 20 percent of funding. Public safety answering points and counties that receive a grant under the program must make annual reports to DMA about their developed capabilities and must keep their capabilities secure and confidential.
