Bill Summary
A BILL IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA To repeal the Emergency and Non-Emergency Telephone Calling Systems Fund since it is no longer being reserved, as originally intended, for capital equipment costs.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to modify the Emergency and Non-Emergency Telephone Calling Systems Fund Act of 2000, effectively changing how funds are allocated and used for emergency communication systems. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 603 of the existing law to clarify that money in the Fund shall be used to pay for costs necessary to provide 911 and 311 systems, and removes previous provisions about how the fund was originally intended to be used for capital equipment costs. The bill repeals subsections (d) and (g) of Section 603 and completely eliminates Section 604c, which suggests a streamlining of the fund's oversight and usage. The bill will take effect after mayoral approval (or Council veto override) and a standard 30-day congressional review period, which is typical for District of Columbia legislation. The underlying motivation appears to be updating the fund's purpose to reflect its current use, rather than maintaining restrictions that no longer align with the fund's practical application.
