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).

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.

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.

| |||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Sec. 15.3. Local non-wireless surcharge. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | (a) Except as provided in subsection (l) of this Section, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | the corporate authorities of any municipality or any
county | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | may, subject to the limitations of subsections (c), (d), and | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | (h),
and in addition to any tax levied pursuant to the | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | Simplified Municipal
Telecommunications Tax Act, impose a | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | monthly surcharge on billed subscribers
of network connection | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | provided by telecommunication carriers engaged in the
business | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | of transmitting messages by means of electricity originating | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | within
the corporate limits of the municipality or county | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | imposing the surcharge at
a rate per network connection | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | determined in accordance with subsection (c), however the | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | monthly surcharge shall not apply to a network connection | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | provided for use with pay telephone services.
Provided, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | however, that where multiple voice grade communications | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | channels
are connected between the subscriber's premises and a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | public switched network
through private branch exchange (PBX) | ||||||
2 | or centrex type service, a municipality
imposing a surcharge | ||||||

| ||||||
7 | connection, as defined under Section 2 of this Act, for | ||||||
8 | both regular service and advanced service provisioned | ||||||
9 | trunk lines; | ||||||
10 | (ii) in a municipality with a population, prior to | ||||||
11 | March 1, 2010, of 500,000 or more, 5 surcharges per | ||||||
12 | network connection, as defined under Section 2 of this | ||||||
13 | Act, for both regular service and advanced

14 | provisioned trunk lines; | ||||||
15 | (iii) in a municipality with a population, as of March | ||||||

19 | per network connection, as defined under Section 2 of this | ||||||
20 | Act, for advanced service provisioned trunk
lines, except | ||||||
21 | where an advanced service provisioned trunk line supports | ||||||
22 | at least 2 but fewer

23 | calls ("VGC's"), a telecommunication carrier may
elect to | ||||||
24 | impose fewer than 12 surcharges per trunk line as provided | ||||||
25 | in subsection (iv)
of this Section; or | ||||||
26 | (iv) for an advanced service provisioned trunk line |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||

1 | connected between the
subscriber's premises and the public | |||||||||||||||||||||
2 | switched network through a P.B.X., where the advanced
| |||||||||||||||||||||
3 | service provisioned trunk line is capable of transporting | |||||||||||||||||||||
4 | at least 2 but fewer than 23

8 | any telecommunications carrier's obligations to otherwise | |||||||||||||||||||||
9 | keep and maintain records. Any
telecommunications carrier | |||||||||||||||||||||
10 | electing to impose fewer than 12 surcharges per an | |||||||||||||||||||||
11 | advanced
service provisioned trunk line shall keep and | |||||||||||||||||||||
12 | maintain records adequately to demonstrate the
VGC | |||||||||||||||||||||
13 | capability of each advanced service provisioned trunk line | |||||||||||||||||||||
14 | with fewer than 12
surcharges imposed, provided that 12 | |||||||||||||||||||||
15 | surcharges shall be imposed on an advanced service
| |||||||||||||||||||||
16 | provisioned trunk line regardless of the VGC capability | |||||||||||||||||||||
17 | where a telecommunications carrier
cannot demonstrate the | |||||||||||||||||||||
18 | VGC capability of the advanced service provisioned trunk | |||||||||||||||||||||
19 | line.
| |||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
24 | Subsections (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) are not intended to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | make any change in the meaning of this Section, but are | ||||||
2 | intended to remove possible ambiguity, thereby confirming the | ||||||
3 | intent of paragraph (a) as it existed prior to and following | ||||||
4 | the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General | ||||||
5 | Assembly. | ||||||
6 | For mobile telecommunications services, if a surcharge is | ||||||
7 | imposed it shall be
imposed based upon the municipality or | ||||||
8 | county that encompasses the customer's
place of primary use as | ||||||
9 | defined in the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing
Conformity | ||||||
10 | Act. A municipality may enter into an intergovernmental
| ||||||
11 | agreement with any county in which it is partially located, | ||||||
12 | when the county
has adopted an ordinance to impose a surcharge | ||||||
13 | as provided in subsection
(c), to include that portion of the | ||||||
14 | municipality lying outside the county
in that county's | ||||||
15 | surcharge referendum. If the county's surcharge
referendum is | ||||||
16 | approved, the portion of the municipality identified in the
| ||||||
17 | intergovernmental agreement shall automatically be | ||||||
18 | disconnected from the
county in which it lies and connected to | ||||||
19 | the county which approved the
referendum for purposes of a | ||||||
20 | surcharge on telecommunications carriers.
| ||||||
21 | (b) For purposes of computing the surcharge imposed by | ||||||
22 | subsection (a),
the network connections to which the surcharge | ||||||
23 | shall apply shall be those
in-service network connections, | ||||||
24 | other than those network connections
assigned to the | ||||||
25 | municipality or county, where the service address for each
| ||||||
26 | such network connection or connections is located within the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | corporate
limits of the municipality or county levying the | ||||||
2 | surcharge. Except for mobile
telecommunication services, the | ||||||
3 | "service address" shall mean the location of
the primary use | ||||||
4 | of the network connection or connections. For mobile
| ||||||
5 | telecommunication services, "service address" means the | ||||||
6 | customer's place of
primary use as defined in the Mobile | ||||||
7 | Telecommunications Sourcing Conformity
Act.
| ||||||
8 | (c) Upon the passage of an ordinance to impose a surcharge | ||||||
9 | under this
Section the clerk of the municipality or county | ||||||
10 | shall certify the question
of whether the surcharge may be | ||||||
11 | imposed to the proper election authority
who shall submit the | ||||||
12 | public question to the electors of the municipality or
county | ||||||
13 | in accordance with the general election law; provided that | ||||||
14 | such
question shall not be submitted at a consolidated primary | ||||||
15 | election. The
public question shall be in substantially the | ||||||
16 | following form:
| ||||||
17 | -------------------------------------------------------------
| ||||||
18 | Shall the county (or city, village
| ||||||
19 | or incorporated town) of ..... impose YES
| ||||||
20 | a surcharge of up to ...¢ per month per
| ||||||
21 | network connection, which surcharge will
| ||||||
22 | be added to the monthly bill you receive ------------------
| ||||||
23 | for telephone or telecommunications
| ||||||
24 | charges, for the purpose of installing
| ||||||
25 | (or improving) a 9-1-1 Emergency NO
| ||||||
26 | Telephone System?
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | -------------------------------------------------------------
| ||||||
2 | If a majority of the votes cast upon the public question | ||||||
3 | are in favor
thereof, the surcharge shall be imposed.
| ||||||
4 | However, if a Joint Emergency Telephone System Board is to | ||||||
5 | be created
pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement under | ||||||
6 | Section 15.4, the
ordinance to impose the surcharge shall be | ||||||
7 | subject to the approval of a
majority of the total number of | ||||||
8 | votes cast upon the public question by the
electors of all of | ||||||
9 | the municipalities or counties, or combination thereof,
that | ||||||
10 | are parties to the intergovernmental agreement.
| ||||||
11 | The referendum requirement of this subsection (c) shall | ||||||
12 | not apply
to any municipality with a population over 500,000 | ||||||
13 | or to any
county in which a proposition as to whether a | ||||||
14 | sophisticated 9-1-1 Emergency
Telephone System should be | ||||||
15 | installed in the county, at a cost not to
exceed a specified | ||||||
16 | monthly amount per network connection, has previously
been | ||||||
17 | approved by a majority of the electors of the county voting on | ||||||
18 | the
proposition at an election conducted before the effective | ||||||
19 | date of this
amendatory Act of 1987.
| ||||||
20 | (d) A county may not impose a surcharge, unless requested | ||||||
21 | by a
municipality, in any incorporated area which has | ||||||
22 | previously approved a
surcharge as provided in subsection (c) | ||||||
23 | or in any incorporated area where
the corporate authorities of | ||||||
24 | the municipality have previously entered into
a binding | ||||||
25 | contract or letter of intent with a telecommunications carrier | ||||||
26 | to
provide sophisticated 9-1-1 service through municipal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | funds.
| ||||||
2 | (e) A municipality or county may at any time by ordinance | ||||||
3 | change the
rate of the surcharge imposed under this Section if | ||||||
4 | the new rate does not
exceed the rate specified in the | ||||||
5 | referendum held pursuant to subsection (c).
| ||||||
6 | (f) The surcharge authorized by this Section shall be | ||||||
7 | collected from
the subscriber by the telecommunications | ||||||
8 | carrier providing the subscriber
the network connection as a | ||||||
9 | separately stated item on the subscriber's bill.
| ||||||
10 | (g) The amount of surcharge collected by the | ||||||
11 | telecommunications carrier
shall be paid to the particular | ||||||
12 | municipality or county or Joint Emergency
Telephone System | ||||||
13 | Board not later than 30 days after the surcharge is
collected, | ||||||
14 | net of any network or other 9-1-1 or sophisticated 9-1-1 | ||||||
15 | system
charges then due the particular telecommunications | ||||||
16 | carrier, as shown on an
itemized bill. The telecommunications | ||||||
17 | carrier collecting the surcharge
shall also be entitled to | ||||||
18 | deduct 3% of the gross amount of surcharge
collected to | ||||||
19 | reimburse the telecommunications carrier for the expense of
| ||||||
20 | accounting and collecting the surcharge.
| ||||||
21 | (h) Except as expressly provided in subsection (a) of this | ||||||
22 | Section, on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act | ||||||
23 | of the 98th General Assembly and until December 31, 2017, a | ||||||
24 | municipality with a population of 500,000 or more shall not | ||||||
25 | impose a monthly surcharge per network connection in excess of | ||||||
26 | the highest monthly surcharge imposed as of January 1, 2014 by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | any county or municipality under subsection (c) of this | ||||||
2 | Section. Beginning January 1, 2018 and until December 31, 2025 | ||||||
3 | 2023 , a municipality with a population over 500,000 may not | ||||||
4 | impose a monthly surcharge in excess of $5.00 per network | ||||||
5 | connection. On or after January 1, 2026 2024 , a
municipality | ||||||
6 | with a population over 500,000 may not impose a
monthly | ||||||
7 | surcharge in excess of $2.50
per network connection.
| ||||||
8 | (i) Any municipality or county or joint emergency | ||||||
9 | telephone system
board that has imposed a surcharge pursuant | ||||||
10 | to this Section prior to the
effective date of this amendatory | ||||||
11 | Act of 1990 shall hereafter impose the
surcharge in accordance | ||||||
12 | with subsection (b) of this Section.
| ||||||
13 | (j) The corporate authorities of any municipality or | ||||||
14 | county may issue,
in accordance with Illinois law, bonds, | ||||||
15 | notes or other obligations secured
in whole or in part by the | ||||||
16 | proceeds of the surcharge described in this
Section.
The State | ||||||
17 | of Illinois pledges and agrees that it will not limit or alter
| ||||||
18 | the rights and powers vested in municipalities and counties by | ||||||
19 | this Section
to impose the surcharge so as to impair the terms | ||||||
20 | of or affect the
security for bonds, notes or other | ||||||
21 | obligations secured in whole or in part
with the proceeds of | ||||||
22 | the surcharge described in this Section. The pledge and | ||||||
23 | agreement set forth in this Section survive the termination of | ||||||
24 | the surcharge under subsection (l) by virtue of the | ||||||
25 | replacement of the surcharge monies guaranteed under Section | ||||||
26 | 20; the State of Illinois pledges and agrees that it will not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | limit or alter the rights vested in municipalities and | ||||||
2 | counties to the surcharge replacement funds guaranteed under | ||||||
3 | Section 20 so as to impair the terms of or affect the security | ||||||
4 | for bonds, notes or other obligations secured in whole or in | ||||||
5 | part with the proceeds of the surcharge described in this | ||||||
6 | Section.
| ||||||
7 | (k) Any surcharge collected by or imposed on a | ||||||
8 | telecommunications
carrier pursuant to this Section shall be | ||||||
9 | held to be a special fund in
trust for the municipality, county | ||||||
10 | or Joint Emergency Telephone Board
imposing the surcharge. | ||||||
11 | Except for the 3% deduction provided in subsection
(g) above, | ||||||
12 | the special fund shall not be subject to the claims of
| ||||||
13 | creditors of the telecommunication carrier.
| ||||||
14 | (l) Any surcharge imposed pursuant to this Section by a | ||||||
15 | county or municipality, other than a municipality with a | ||||||
16 | population in excess of 500,000, shall cease to be imposed on | ||||||
17 | January 1, 2016. | ||||||
