Section 11-98-7.1

Phase II Enhanced 911 Implementation Fund; reimbursement of costs; disposition of funds.

(a) Beginning on October 1, 2007, the first $2 million of funds collected by the CMRS Board to be distributed under Section 11-98-7(b)(3)b shall be deposited into a Phase II Enhanced 911 Implementation Fund. The proceeds from this fund shall be distributed to any ECD for reimbursement of actual costs associated with implementation of a Phase II Enhanced 911 system, provided that the ECD: (1) Does not have a Phase II Enhanced 911 system in place on June 14, 2007; (2) submits a Phase II Enhanced 911 system implementation plan to the CMRS Board for approval; and (3) upon approval of the implementation plan by the CMRS Board, completes implementation of the Phase II Enhanced 911 system to the satisfaction of the CMRS Board within 24 months of June 14, 2007.

Once an ECD's Phase II Enhanced 911 system has been fully implemented, the ECD may apply to the CMRS Board for reimbursement of its actual costs. The CMRS Board shall review the performance of the equipment, and when satisfied that the plan is fully and properly implemented, the CMRS Board shall reimburse the ECD for its actual costs of implementation and endorse the ECD's participation in the additional funding as provided in subsection (b).

(b) Once the Phase II Enhanced 911 Implementation Fund reaches $2 million, all additional monies from the CMRS charge which are required to be distributed under Section 11-98-7(b)(3)b shall be distributed to all ECDs which have been approved by the board as operating a Phase II Enhanced 911 system based upon each such ECD's population in relation to the population of all ECDs which have been approved by the board as operating a Phase II Enhanced 911 system. Any ECD which implements a Phase II Enhanced 911 system under the provisions of subsection (a) shall be allowed to participate in this distribution beginning on the first day of the first month after the CMRS Board has endorsed its participation as a Phase II Enhanced 911 system.

(c) The Phase II Enhanced 911 Implementation Fund created under subsection (a) shall be dissolved on September 30, 2009, and thereafter, all monies from the CMRS charge which are required to be distributed under Section 11-98-7(b)(3)b and any funds remaining in the Phase II Enhanced 911 Implementation Fund, shall be distributed to all ECDs which have implemented or thereafter shall implement a Phase II Enhanced 911 system as approved by the board.
