Bill > HR1243

This resolution proposes an amendment to the Georgia Constitution to create the "Georgia Next Generation 9-1-1 Fund." This fund would be established by the General Assembly and could receive dedicated revenues from specified sources. The money in the fund would be exclusively used for the expansion, maintenance, and operation of 9-1-1 systems across the state, including the transition to "Next Generation 9-1-1" (which refers to an upgraded, more advanced 9-1-1 system capable of handling various communication methods beyond just voice calls, such as text messages and video). The amendment also clarifies that funds deposited into this account would not expire at the end of a fiscal year and would not be subject to certain general appropriation limitations. The proposed constitutional amendment will be put to a vote for ratification by the public.
