Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Public Safety Agency Network Act. Sets forth the General Assembly's findings that 9-1-1 call centers are not able to transfer a call made by an individual in an area served by one 9-1-1 call center on behalf of another individual experiencing an emergency in an area served by a different 9-1-1 call center. Requires the Board of the Illinois Public Safety Agency Network to analyze and recommend legislation regarding the implementation of a 9-1-1 call forwarding or transfer feature and the establishment of a navigable directory of all local police departments, fire departments, rescue groups, and other emergency assistance departments for every county through this State. Provides that by December 31, 2014, the Board shall present its report to the General Assembly. Repeals the provisions of the amendatory Act on December 31, 2015. Effective January 1, 2014.

Sets forth the General Assembly's findings regarding the ability of 9-1-1 systems to manually transfer, forward, or relay 9-1-1 calls originating within one 9-1-1- system's jurisdiction, but which should properly be answered and dispatched by another 9-1-1 system, to the appropriate 9-1-1 system for answering and dispatch of first responders. Requires the Illinois Commerce Commission to prepare a directory of all authorized 9-1-1 systems in the State of Illinois. Requires the directory to include an emergency 10-digit telephone number for a Primary Public Safety Answering Point located in each 9-1-1 system to which 9-1-1 calls from another jurisdiction can be transferred. Requires each 9-1-1 system to provide the Manager of the Commission's 9-1-1 Program with a 10-digit emergency telephone number to which 9-1-1 calls originating in another 9-1-1 jurisdiction can be transferred and a its standard operating procedure describing the manner in which the system shall transfer, forward, or relay these calls.
