MODERATE

The bill was revised to change a permanent statewide mandate into a temporary pilot program that ends in 2031. The version now requires the 911 Board to convene a specific working group with representatives from all counties and disability agencies to oversee the pilot and report back to the legislature. Additionally, the effective date was set to July 1, 3000, likely indicating a placeholder or error that requires correction before the bill can be enacted.

Scope change

The bill's scope changed from a permanent statewide requirement to a temporary pilot program with a sunset date of June 30, 2031.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed to July 1, 3000, and a repeal date of June 30, 2031 was added, converting the bill from permanent to temporary.

REQUIREMENT

A new requirement was added for the 911 Board to convene a working group consisting of representatives from all four counties and specific disability and aging agencies.

The working group is now required to submit a report to the legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the 2031 regular session.

DEFINITION

New definitions were added for 'Board' and 'Pilot program' to clarify the temporary nature of the initiative.

FISCAL

The section establishing the permanent '911 fund' and detailing its administration was removed.
