669		-	purpose of this Act is to ensure that 9-1-1 systems have
670		-

672		-	redundant methods of dispatch for: (1) each public safety
673		-	agency within its jurisdiction, herein known as participating
674		-	agencies; and (2) 9-1-1 systems whose jurisdictional
675		-	boundaries are contiguous, herein known as adjacent 9-1-1

677		-	a public safety agency that needs to be dispatched by the
678		-	adjacent 9-1-1 system. Another primary purpose of this Section
679		-	is to eliminate instances in which a public safety agency
680		-	refuses, once dispatched, to render aid outside of the
681		-	jurisdictional boundaries of the public safety agency.
682		-	Therefore, in implementing a 9-1-1 system under this Act, all
683		-	9-1-1 authorities shall enter into call handling and aid

685		-	participating agency and adjacent 9-1-1 system. The agreements
686		-	shall provide a primary and secondary means of dispatch. It
687		-	must also provide that, once an emergency unit is dispatched
688		-	in response to a request through the system, such unit shall
689		-	render its services to the requesting party without regard to
690		-	whether the unit is operating outside its normal
691		-	jurisdictional boundaries. The call handling and aid outside
692		-	jurisdictional boundaries agreements shall be incorporated
693		-	into the plan filed under Section 11. Notice of any changes to
694		-	call handling and aid outside jurisdictional boundaries
695		-	agreements must be made annually during the financial
696		-	reporting process Certified notification of the continuation
697		-	of call handling and aid outside jurisdictional boundaries
698		-
699		-
700		-	agreements shall be made among the involved parties on an
701		-	annual basis. The Illinois State Police may adopt rules for
702		-	the administration of this Section.

821		-	(b) For purposes of computing the surcharge imposed by
822		-	subsection (a), the network connections to which the surcharge
823		-	shall apply shall be those in-service network connections,
824		-	other than those network connections assigned to the

841		-
842		-
843		-	election. The public question shall be in substantially the
844		-	following form:

851		-	for telephone or telecommunications
852		-	charges, for the purpose of installing
853		-	(or improving) a 9-1-1 Emergency NO
854		-	Telephone System?
855		-	-------------------------------------------------------------
856		-	If a majority of the votes cast upon the public question
857		-	are in favor thereof, the surcharge shall be imposed.
858		-	However, if a Joint Emergency Telephone System Board is to
859		-	be created pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement under
860		-	Section 15.4, the ordinance to impose the surcharge shall be
861		-	subject to the approval of a majority of the total number of
862		-	votes cast upon the public question by the electors of all of
863		-	the municipalities or counties, or combination thereof, that
864		-	are parties to the intergovernmental agreement.
865		-	The referendum requirement of this subsection (c) shall
866		-	not apply to any municipality with a population over 500,000

878		-	previously approved a surcharge as provided in subsection (c)
879		-	or in any incorporated area where the corporate authorities of
880		-	the municipality have previously entered into a binding
881		-	contract or letter of intent with a telecommunications carrier
882		-	to provide sophisticated 9-1-1 service through municipal
883		-	funds.
884		-	(e) A municipality or county may at any time by ordinance
885		-	change the rate of the surcharge imposed under this Section if
886		-	the new rate does not exceed the rate specified in the
887		-	referendum held pursuant to subsection (c).
888		-	(f) The surcharge authorized by this Section shall be
889		-	collected from the subscriber by the telecommunications
890		-	carrier providing the subscriber the network connection as a
891		-	separately stated item on the subscriber's bill.
892		-	(g) The amount of surcharge collected by the
893		-	telecommunications carrier shall be paid to the particular
894		-	municipality or county or Joint Emergency Telephone System
895		-	Board not later than 30 days after the surcharge is collected,

903		-	reimburse the telecommunications carrier for the expense of
904		-	accounting and collecting the surcharge.

907		-	of the 98th General Assembly and until December 31, 2017, a
908		-	municipality with a population of 500,000 or more shall not
909		-	impose a monthly surcharge per network connection in excess of
910		-	the highest monthly surcharge imposed as of January 1, 2014 by

930		-	the rights and powers vested in municipalities and counties by
931		-	this Section to impose the surcharge so as to impair the terms
932		-	of or affect the security for bonds, notes or other
933		-	obligations secured in whole or in part with the proceeds of
934		-	the surcharge described in this Section. The pledge and
935		-	agreement set forth in this Section survive the termination of
936		-	the surcharge under subsection (l) by virtue of the

	772	+	22 aggregators must update the required information within 30
	773	+	23 days of implementing any changes in information required

	790	+	5 (d) Each originating service provider shall establish

	795	+	10 (e) If a 9-1-1 system is being transitioned to NG9-1-1
	796	+	11 service or to a new provider, each aggregator shall be
	797	+	12 responsible for coordinating any modifications that are needed
	798	+	13 to ensure that the originating service provider provides the
	799	+	14 required level of service to its customers. Each aggregator

	826	+	5 separately agrees to coordinate with the originating service
	827	+	6 providers) for migration, but in no case shall that migration

	834	+	13 service provider shall perform testing of its network and

	859	+	3 agencies; and (2) 9-1-1 systems whose jurisdictional
	860	+	4 boundaries are contiguous, herein known as adjacent 9-1-1
	861	+	5 systems, when an emergency request for service is received for
	862	+	6 a public safety agency that needs to be dispatched by the
	863	+	7 adjacent 9-1-1 system. Another primary purpose of this Section
	864	+	8 is to eliminate instances in which a public safety agency
	865	+	9 refuses, once dispatched, to render aid outside of the
	866	+	10 jurisdictional boundaries of the public safety agency.
	867	+	11 Therefore, in implementing a 9-1-1 system under this Act, all
	868	+	12 9-1-1 authorities shall enter into call handling and aid
	869	+	13 outside jurisdictional boundaries agreements with each
	870	+	14 participating agency and adjacent 9-1-1 system. The agreements
	871	+	15 shall provide a primary and secondary means of dispatch. It
	872	+	16 must also provide that, once an emergency unit is dispatched
	873	+	17 in response to a request through the system, such unit shall
	874	+	18 render its services to the requesting party without regard to
	875	+	19 whether the unit is operating outside its normal
	876	+	20 jurisdictional boundaries. The call handling and aid outside
	877	+	21 jurisdictional boundaries agreements shall be incorporated
	878	+	22 into the plan filed under Section 11. Notice of any changes to

	1089	+	14 If a majority of the votes cast upon the public question
