| 1 | | AN ACT concerning local government.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Emergency Telephone System Act is amended by | 5 | | changing Section 15.4 as follows: | 6 | | (50 ILCS 750/15.4) (from Ch. 134, par. 45.4) | 7 | | (Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2020) | 8 | | Sec. 15.4. Emergency Telephone System Board; powers. | 9 | | (a) Except as provided in subsection (e) of this Section, | 10 | | the corporate authorities of any county or municipality
may | 11 | | establish an Emergency
Telephone System Board. | 12 | | The corporate authorities shall provide for the
manner of | 13 | | appointment and the number of members of the Board, provided | 14 | | that
the board shall consist of not fewer than 5 members, one | 15 | | of whom
must be a
public member who is a resident of the local | 16 | | exchange service territory
included in the 9-1-1 coverage area, | 17 | | one of whom (in counties with a
population less than 100,000) | 18 | | may be a member of the county
board, and
at least 3 of whom | 19 | | shall be representative of the 9-1-1 public safety agencies,
| 20 | | including but not limited to police departments, fire | 21 | | departments, emergency
medical services providers, and | 22 | | emergency services and disaster agencies, and
appointed on the | 23 | | basis of their ability or experience. In counties with a |
| | | SB2727 Engrossed | - 2 - | LRB100 17683 AWJ 32855 b |
|
| 1 | | population of more than 100,000 but less than 2,000,000, a | 2 | | member of the county board may serve on the Emergency Telephone | 3 | | System Board. Elected officials, including members of a county | 4 | | board, are
also eligible to serve on the board. Members of the | 5 | | board shall serve without
compensation but shall be reimbursed | 6 | | for their actual and necessary
expenses. Any 2 or more | 7 | | municipalities, counties, or combination thereof,
may, instead | 8 | | of establishing
individual boards, establish by | 9 | | intergovernmental agreement a Joint
Emergency Telephone System | 10 | | Board pursuant to this Section. The manner of
appointment of | 11 | | such a joint board shall be prescribed in the agreement. | 12 | | However, if the joint board includes a county which was a part | 13 | | of a 9-1-1 Governing Board established in 1988, no more than 3 | 14 | | members of the county board shall be appointed to serve on the | 15 | | joint board with the remaining members being either elected | 16 | | officials or representatives from the 9-1-1 public safety | 17 | | agencies within the coverage area of the joint board. On or | 18 | | after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th | 19 | | General Assembly, any new intergovernmental agreement entered | 20 | | into to establish or join a Joint Emergency Telephone System | 21 | | Board shall provide for the appointment of a PSAP | 22 | | representative to the board. | 23 | | Upon the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th | 24 | | General Assembly, appointed members of the Emergency Telephone | 25 | | System Board shall serve staggered 3-year terms if: (1) the | 26 | | Board serves a county with a population of 100,000 or less; and |

Board members | 10 | | may be re-appointed upon the expiration of their terms by the | 11 | | corporate authorities of the county or municipality. | 12 | | The corporate authorities of a county or municipality may, | 13 | | by a vote of the majority of the members elected, remove an | 14 | | Emergency Telephone System Board member for misconduct, | 15 | | official misconduct, or neglect of office. | 16 | | (b) The powers and duties of the board shall be defined by | 17 | | ordinance
of the municipality or county, or by | 18 | | intergovernmental agreement in the
case of a joint board. The | 19 | | powers and duties shall include, but need not
be limited to the | 20 | | following: | 21 | | (1) Planning a 9-1-1 system. | 22 | | (2) Coordinating and supervising the implementation, | 23 | | upgrading, or

received by a board pursuant to a surcharge | 9 | | imposed under
Section 15.3, or disbursed to it under Section | 10 | | 30, shall be deposited into a separate interest-bearing
| 11 | | Emergency Telephone System Fund account. The treasurer of the | 12 | | municipality or
county that has established the board or, in | 13 | | the case of a joint board, any
municipal or county treasurer | 14 | | designated in the intergovernmental agreement,
shall be | 15 | | custodian of the fund. All interest accruing on the fund shall | 16 | | remain
in the fund. No expenditures may be made from such fund | 17 | | except upon the
direction of the board by resolution passed by | 18 | | a majority of all members of the
board. | 19 | | (d) The board shall complete a Master Street Address Guide | 20 | | database before implementation of the
9-1-1 system. The error | 21 | | ratio of the database shall not at any time
exceed 1% of the | 22 | | total database. | 23 | | (e) On and after January 1, 2016, no municipality or county | 24 | | may create an Emergency Telephone System Board unless the board | 25 | | is a Joint Emergency Telephone System Board. The corporate | 26 | | authorities of any county or municipality entering into an |
