Senate Bill 0067 – Wireless enhanced 911. Specifies that a commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) provider may be reimbursed from the wireless emergency telephone system fund for costs incurred before July 1, 2005, to implement wireless enhanced 911 service. Allows part of the wireless enhanced 911 fee to be used to reimburse public safety answering points and the wireless enhanced 911 advisory board (board) for certain wireless enhanced 911 services required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) but not specified in the 1996 FCC order concerning wireless enhanced 911. Provides that after all CMRS providers have been reimbursed for expenses incurred before July 1, 2005, the board may reduce or reallocate the part of the fee used to reimburse CMRS providers. Prohibits the board from reimbursing a CMRS provider for expenses submitted after December 31, 2005. Repeals an obsolete reference to pseudo-automatic number identification.
Seems like I had a hand in drafting the original wireless enhanced 911 legislation, but it’s all pretty opaque to me. Anyway, the amendment passed the Senate 48 – 0.
