SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:
Article 41 - Governor - Executive and Administrative
Departments
204H-1.
(a) The General Assembly recognizes the paramount
importance of the safety and well-being of the citizens of
Maryland and further recognizes that when the lives or property
of its citizens are in imminent danger, timely and appropriate
assistance must be rendered,
(b) Further, the General Assembly recognizes that such
assistance is almost always summoned by telephone and that a
multiplicity of emergency telephone numbers exist throughout the
State and within any one county.
(c) The General Assembly is concerned that avoidable delays
in reaching appropriate emergency aid are occurring to the
jeopardy of life and property.
(d) The General Assembly acknowledges that the three digit
number, 911, is a nationally recognized and applied telephone
number which may be used to summon emergency aid and to eliminate
delays caused by lack of familiarity with emergency numbers and
by understandable confusion in circumstances of crisis.
(e) It is the purpose of this subtitle to establish the
three digit number, 911, as the primary emergency telephone
number for the State of Maryland and to provide for the orderly
installation, MAINTENANCE, AND OPERATION of 911 systems within
the State.
(f) In this subtitle, the following words and terms have
