Bill Summary

AN ACT Relating to providing funding for municipalities 2 participating in the regional 911 emergency communications system; 3 and adding a new section to chapter 82.14B RCW. 4

AI Summary

This bill requires a specific county east of the Cascade mountains with a population between 530,000 and 1,500,000 that operates a regional 911 emergency communications system to transfer a portion of its 911 excise tax revenues to local governments that operate municipal public safety answering points (PSAPs) or receive transferred emergency calls. The transfer amount will be calculated using the same percentage method used for another related tax (RCW 82.14.420). Starting in calendar year 2026, these transfers must occur quarterly, ensuring that local governments operating PSAPs or receiving emergency call transfers are financially supported. The bill defines a "regional 911 emergency communications system" as a county-operated 911 system responsible for receiving emergency calls for multiple local government law enforcement and fire response agencies. This legislation aims to provide fair funding for municipalities participating in regional emergency communication systems, particularly benefiting local governments that handle emergency call dispatch and response.
