Senate Amendment 5455

Amendment Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Amend Senate File 2268 as follows:
  1  2    #1.  Page 1, by inserting before line 1 the
  1  3 following:
  1  4    "Sec.    .  Section 34A.3, subsection 1, unnumbered
  1  5 paragraph 1, Code 1995, is amended to read as follows:
  1  6    The board of supervisors of each county shall
  1  7 establish a joint 911 service board not later than
  1  8 January 1, 1989.  Each political subdivision of the
  1  9 state having a public safety agency serving territory
  1 10 within the county is entitled to voting membership on
  1 11 the joint 911 service board.  Each public and private
  1 12 safety agency operating within the area is entitled to
  1 13 nonvoting voting membership on the board.  A township
  1 14 which does not operate its own public safety agency,
  1 15 but contracts for the provision of public safety
  1 16 services, is not entitled to membership on the joint
  1 17 911 service board, but its contractor is entitled to
  1 18 membership according to the contractor's status as a
  1 19 public or private safety agency.  The board of
  1 20 supervisors of the county establishing the board is
  1 21 also entitled to voting membership on the board.  The
  1 22 joint 911 service board shall develop an enhanced 911
  1 23 service plan encompassing at minimum the entire
  1 24 county, unless an exemption is granted by the
  1 25 administrator permitting a smaller E911 service area.
  1 26 The administrator may grant a discretionary exemption
  1 27 from the single county minimum service area
  1 28 requirement based upon an E911 joint service board's
  1 29 or other E911 service plan operating authority's
  1 30 presentation of evidence which supports the requested
  1 31 exemption if the administrator finds that local
  1 32 conditions make adherence to the minimum standard
  1 33 unreasonable or technically infeasible, and that the
  1 34 purposes of this chapter would be furthered by
  1 35 granting an exemption.  The minimum size requirement
  1 36 is intended to prevent unnecessary duplication of
  1 37 public safety answering points and minimize other
  1 38 administrative, personnel, and equipment expenses.  An
  1 39 E911 service area must encompass a geographically
  1 40 contiguous area.  No exemption shall be granted from
  1 41 the contiguous area requirement.  The administrator
  1 42 may order the inclusion of a specific territory in an
  1 43 adjoining E911 service plan area to avoid the creation
  1 44 by exclusion of a territory smaller than a single
  1 45 county not serviced by surrounding E911 service plan
  1 46 areas upon request of the joint 911 service board
  1 47 representing the territory.  The E911 service plan
  1 48 operating authority shall submit the plan on or before
  1 49 January 1, 1994, to all of the following:"
