Emergency Telephone Systems

Abstract

Amends the Emergency Telephone System Act. Changes the date that the Act will be repealed from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2025. Makes other, conforming date changes. Provides that an entity that manages or operates a private residential switch service or shared residential or temporary residential MLTS service that was installed on or before February 16, 2020 shall ensure that the system includes the ALI containing the street address of the 9-1-1 caller (rather than dispatchable location) who is the source of the call to 9-1-1. Effective immediately. Senate Floor Amendment No. 1 Adds reference to: 30 ILCS 105/5.531 rep. 50 ILCS 750/2 from Ch. 134, par. 32 50 ILCS 750/3 from Ch. 134, par. 33 50 ILCS 750/6.2 50 ILCS 750/11.5 50 ILCS 750/14 from Ch. 134, par. 44 50 ILCS 750/15.2 from Ch. 134, par. 45.2 50 ILCS 750/15.4 from Ch. 134, par. 45.4 50 ILCS 750/15.4b 50 ILCS 750/20 50 ILCS 750/30 50 ILCS 750/35 50 ILCS 750/40 50 ILCS 750/50 50 ILCS 750/15 rep. 50 ILCS 750/15.2c rep. 50 ILCS 750/45 rep. 720 ILCS 5/26-1 from Ch. 38, par. 26-1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with the following changes. Further amends the Emergency Telephone System Act. Adds a definition of "first responder" and modifies the definition of "grade of service". Provides that within 36 (rather than 18) months of the awarding of a contract to a certified vendor to provide Next Generation 9-1-1 service, a 9-1-1 system in Illinois shall provide Next Generation 9-1-1 service, except that a municipality with a population over 500,000 shall provide Next Generation 9-1-1 service by July 1, 2024 (rather than December 31, 2023). Provides that every 9-1-1 system shall be able to accept text to 9-1-1 no later than July 1, 2024 (rather than January 1, 2023). Changes the date on which each aggregator that is operating within the State must submit (rather than email) to the Office of the Statewide 9-1-1 Administrator information that supports the implementation of and the migration to the Statewide NG9-1-1 system and provides that the Illinois State Police shall make available the form to submit the information. Makes changes relating to call handling and aid outside jurisdictional boundaries agreements. Prohibits calling or texting 9-1-1 or causing a transmission, in any manner, to a public safety agency or public safety answering point (rather than placing an emergency call to 9-1-1 for the purpose of making or transmitting a false alarm or complaint and reporting information) when, at the time the call, text, or transmission is made, the person knows there is no reasonable ground for making the call, text, or transmission (removing a requirement that the person further knows that the call or transmission could result in the emergency response of any public safety agency), and makes conforming changes to the elements of disorderly conduct in the Criminal Code of 2012. Provides that the Emergency Telephone System Board shall complete and maintain a Next Generation 9-1-1 GIS database in accordance with NENA Standards before implementation of the NG9-1-1 system. Provides that the MSAG and GIS data standardizing and synchronization must reach a 98% or greater match rate, with an option of matching with ALI, before using GIS data for NG9-1-1 (rather than complete a Master Street Address Guide database before implementation of the 9-1-1 system and that the error ratio of the database shall not at any time exceed 1% of the total database). Makes changes relating to consolidation grants. Allows the cost of upgrading the Illinois State Police's call-handling equipment to meet the standards necessary to access and increase interoperability with the statewide Next Generation 9-1-1 network to be included in the Illinois State Police's administrative costs, and includes requirements relating to those upgrades. Provides that surcharge revenues received under the Act shall be made consistent with specified federal law, including specified examples (rather than may be made by municipalities, counties, and 9-1-1 Authorities only to pay for the costs associated with specified requirements). Provides that the Illinois State Police shall create uniform accounting procedures that any emergency telephone system board (rather than board or unit of local government) receiving surcharge money must follow. Provides that the Illinois State Police shall post annual financial reports (rather than the audited financial statements) on the Illinois State Police's website. Repeals provisions relating to copies of the annual certified notification of continuing agreement to be filed with the Attorney General and the statewide 9-1-1 Administrator, call boxes, and the Wireless Carrier Reimbursement Fund. Removes references to the Wireless Carrier Reimbursement Fund in the Act and the State Finance Act. Certain changes are effective immediately. Senate Floor Amendment No. 2 In the Emergency Telephone System Act and the Criminal Code of 2012, restores provisions requiring a prohibited call or text to 9-1-1 or other transmission to a public safety agency to be made for the purpose of making or transmitting a false alarm or complaint and reporting information, and restores in those same provisions a requirement that the individual further knows that the call, text, or transmission (adding text) could result in the emergency response of any public safety agency. In the Emergency Telephone System Act, makes stylistic changes to provisions relating to how specified surplus moneys may be used.
