Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This legislation creates the Georgia Emergency 9-1-1 Support Authority to assist E-911 centers with implementing new technologies, auditing telecommunication companies to ensure proper collection and payment of E-911 fees, assist and support regional E-911 facilities and provide E-911 grants. The authority members are made-up of appointed local elected officials and staff. Funding for the authority would come from voluntary contributions by the local governments receiving services and additional revenues produced by increasing the prepaid E-911 fee from .75 cents per transaction to $1.50 per transaction.
