ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor                                Ch. 5

(c) Those counties which are certified by the EMERGENCY NUMBER SYSTEMS
Board as having an operational enhanced 911 system in place by January 1, 1991 are
exempt from the reporting requirements under this section.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 41, § 18-104.

Former Art. 41, § 18-104 is not retained in the Code because the dates
have passed for submitting the plans for enhancement of the 911 system
for a county or multicounty area and the provision is obsolete. However, it
is transferred to the Session Laws for historical purposes.

The only changes are in style.

[18-108.] 2.

[(d)] (A) For those counties without an operational enhanced 911 system, the
Board shall adopt procedures to assure that:

(1)     The moneys collected from the additional charge and distributed to
the counties are expended in the following proportions during each county's fiscal
year:

(i) For a 911 system in a county or a multicounty area with a
population of 100,000 persons or less, a maximum of 85 percent for personnel costs;
AND

(ii) For a 911 system in a county or multicounty area with a
population in excess of 100,000 persons, a maximum of 70 percent for personnel costs;
AND

(2)     The total amount collected from the 911 fee and the additional charge
shall be expended only for the installation, enhancement, maintenance, and operation
of a county or multicounty system.

[(e)] (B) If a county has an operational enhanced 911 system, it shall be
exempt from the provisions of [subsection (d)(1)] SUBSECTION (A)(1) of this section,
subject to the annual approval of the EMERGENCY NUMBER SYSTEMS Board under [§
18-103 of this subtitle] § 1-306 OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY ARTICLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 41, § 18-108(d) and (e).

Former Art. 41, § 18-108(d) and (e) are obsolete because all counties have
operational enhanced 911 systems. The provisions are decodified and
retained in the Session Laws, however, for historical purposes.

The only changes are in style.                                         

SECTION 10. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That Section(s) 18-107(d)
and (e) of Article 41 - Governor - Executive and Administrative Departments of the
Annotated Code of Maryland be repealed and reenacted, with amendments, and
transferred to the Session Laws, to read as follows:
