| 2 | | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 2727 by replacing | 3 | | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| 4 | | "Section 5. The Emergency Telephone System Act is amended | 5 | | by changing Section 15.4 as follows: | 6 | | (50 ILCS 750/15.4) (from Ch. 134, par. 45.4) | 7 | | (Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2020) | 8 | | Sec. 15.4.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, |

|
| 1 | | one of whom (in counties with a
population less than 100,000) | 2 | | may be a member of the county
board, and
at least 3 of whom | 3 | | shall be representative of the 9-1-1 public safety agencies,
| 4 | | including but not limited to police departments, fire | 5 | | departments, emergency
medical services providers, and | 6 | | emergency services and disaster agencies, and
appointed on the | 7 | | basis of their ability or experience. In counties with a | 8 | | population of more than 100,000 but less than 2,000,000, a | 9 | | member of the county board may serve on the Emergency Telephone | 10 | | System Board. Elected officials, including members of a county | 11 | | board, are
also eligible to serve on the board. Members of the | 12 | | board shall serve without
compensation but shall be reimbursed | 13 | | for their actual and necessary
expenses. Any 2 or more | 14 | | municipalities, counties, or combination thereof,
may, instead | 15 | | of establishing
individual boards, establish by | 16 | | intergovernmental agreement a Joint
Emergency Telephone System | 17 | | Board pursuant to this Section. The manner of
appointment of | 18 | | such a joint board shall be prescribed in the agreement. | 19 | | However, if the joint board includes a county which was a part | 20 | | of a 9-1-1 Governing Board established in 1988, no more than 3 | 21 | | members of the county board shall be appointed to serve on the | 22 | | joint board with the remaining members being either elected | 23 | | officials or representatives from the 9-1-1 public safety | 24 | | agencies within the coverage area of the joint board. On or | 25 | | after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th | 26 | | General Assembly, any new intergovernmental agreement entered |
| | | 10000SB2727sam002 | - 3 - | LRB100 17683 SLF 38919 a |
|
| 1 | | into to establish or join a Joint Emergency Telephone System | 2 | | Board shall provide for the appointment of a PSAP | 3 | | representative to the board. | 4 | | Upon the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th | 5 | | General Assembly, appointed members of the Emergency Telephone | 6 | | System Board shall serve staggered 3-year terms if: (1) the | 7 | | Board serves a county with a population of 100,000 or less; and | 8 | | (2) appointments, on the effective date of this amendatory Act | 9 | | of the 98th General Assembly, are not for a stated term. The | 10 | | corporate authorities of the county or municipality shall | 11 | | assign terms to the board members serving on the effective date | 12 | | of this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly in the | 13 | | following manner: (1) one-third of board members' terms shall | 14 | | expire on January 1, 2015; (2) one-third of board members' | 15 | | terms shall expire on January 1, 2016; and (3) remaining board | 16 | | members' terms shall expire on January 1, 2017. Board members | 17 | | may be re-appointed upon the expiration of their terms by the | 18 | | corporate authorities of the county or municipality. | 19 | | The corporate authorities of a county or municipality may, | 20 | | by a vote of the majority of the members elected, remove an | 21 | | Emergency Telephone System Board member for misconduct, | 22 | | official misconduct, or neglect of office. | 23 | | (b) The powers and duties of the board shall be defined by | 24 | | ordinance
of the municipality or county, or by | 25 | | intergovernmental agreement in the
case of a joint board. The | 26 | | powers and duties shall include, but need not

direction of the board by resolution passed by | 25 | | a majority of all members of the
board. | 26 | | (d) The board shall complete a Master Street Address Guide |

9-1-1 system. The error | 2 | | ratio of the database shall not at any time
exceed 1% of the | 3 | | total database. | 4 | | (e) On and after January 1, 2016, no municipality or county | 5 | | may create an Emergency Telephone System Board unless the board | 6 | | is a Joint Emergency Telephone System Board.

Nothing | 15 | | in this Section shall be construed to require the dissolution | 16 | | of an Emergency Telephone System Board that is not succeeded by | 17 | | a Joint Emergency Telephone System Board or is not required to | 18 | | consolidate under Section 15.4a of this Act. | 19 | | (f) Within one year after the effective date of this | 20 | | amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, any corporate | 21 | | authorities of a county or municipality, other than a | 22 | | municipality with a population of more than 500,000, operating | 23 | | a 9-1-1 system without an Emergency Telephone System Board or | 24 | | Joint Emergency Telephone System Board shall create or join a | 25 | | Joint Emergency Telephone System Board. | 26 | | (Source: P.A. 99-6, eff. 1-1-16; 100-20, eff. 7-1-17.)".
