        Introduced by M. of A. PAULIN, KELLES, SIMON, STERN, ANGELINO, BRABENEC,
          K. BROWN,  DeSTEFANO,  J. A. GIGLIO, J. M. GIGLIO, NORRIS -- read once
          and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means
 
        AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to providing additional aid  to
          municipalities for the purposes of funding next generation 9-1-1 tech-
          nology and providing continuity of emergency dispatching services
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1.  Legislative  intent.  The  legislature  hereby  finds  and
     2  declares  the next generation 9-1-1 (commonly referred to as "NG 9-1-1")
     3  is a digital, internet protocol (IP)-based system that will replace  the
     4  analog 9-1-1 infrastructure that has long been in place in most parts of
     5  New  York. The success and reliability of 9-1-1 will be greatly improved
     6  with the implementation of NG 9-1-1, as it will enhance emergency number
     7  services to create a faster, more resilient system  that  allows  voice,
     8  photos,  videos  and text messages to flow seamlessly from the public to
     9  the 9-1-1 network. NG 9-1-1 will also  improve  the  ability  of  public
    10  safety  answering  points  (hereinafter  referred to as "PSAPs") to help
    11  manage call overload, natural disasters, and  transfer  of  9-1-1  calls
    12  based   on  caller  location  data.  Because  most  9-1-1  systems  were
    13  originally built using analog rather than  digital  technologies,  PSAPs
    14  across  New  York  (with  the  exception  of  New  York City) need to be
    15  upgraded to support NG 9-1-1. While the technology  to  implement  these
    16  new  IP-based  9-1-1  systems  is  available, the transition to NG 9-1-1
    17  involves much more than just new computer  hardware  and  software.  The
    18  legislature further finds and declares that many municipalities lack the
    19  funding  to  implement NG 9-1-1. The legislature also finds and declares
    20  that until counties have access to a dedicated revenue  stream  to  help
    21  pay  for  system  upgrades and new communications equipment, becoming NG
    22  9-1-1 capable will be out of reach for many areas. The legislature here-
    23  by authorizes the state to  help  counties  begin  developing  plans  to

     1  implement  NG  9-1-1, and enacts this legislation to provide appropriate
     2  funding to support such implementation.
     3    §  2.  Paragraph (a) of subdivision 5 of section 186-f of the tax law,
     4  as added by section 3 of part B of chapter 56 of the laws  of  2009,  is
     5  amended to read as follows:
     6    (a)  [forty-one  and  seven-tenths] thirty-two percent of the revenues
     7  collected and received under this section into the state  general  fund;
     8  and
     9    §  3. Paragraphs (b), (c) and (g) of subdivision 6 of section 186-f of
    10  the tax law, paragraph (b) as amended by section 1 of part G of  chapter
    11  55 of the laws of 2022, paragraph (c) as amended by section 38 of part B
    12  of  chapter 56 of the laws of 2010 and paragraph (g) as added by section
    13  2 of part Q of chapter 55 of the laws of 2014, are amended  to  read  as
    14  follows:
    15    (b)  The  sum  of  one  million  five hundred thousand dollars must be
    16  deposited into the New York state emergency services revolving loan fund
    17  annually; provided, however, that such sums shall not be  deposited  for
    18  state  fiscal  years two thousand eleven--two thousand twelve, two thou-
    19  sand twelve--two thousand thirteen, two thousand fourteen--two  thousand
    20  fifteen,  two  thousand  fifteen--two  thousand  sixteen,  two  thousand

    26  three--two thousand twenty-four];
    27    (c) Up to the sum of [seventy-five] one hundred million dollars  annu-
    28  ally  may be used for the provision of grants or reimbursements to coun-
    29  ties for the development, consolidation, or operation of  public  safety
    30  communications  systems or networks designed to support statewide inter-
    31  operable communications for first responders, to be distributed pursuant
    32  to standards and guidelines issued  by  the  state.  Annual  grants  may
    33  consider  costs borne by a municipality related to the issuance of local
    34  public safety  communications  bonds  pursuant  to  section  twenty-four
    35  hundred  thirty-two of the public authorities law, when the municipality
    36  has qualified as an approved participant in  a  statewide  interoperable
    37  communications  system  under the standards and guidelines issued by the
    38  state, and maintains compliance with such standards and guidelines.  The
    39  grant  amount will be prescribed pursuant to an agreement with the muni-
    40  cipality, and may not exceed thirty percent of the annual cost borne  by
    41  the municipality in relation to such bonds;
    42    (g) The sum of [ten] twenty million dollars annually shall be used for
    43  the  provision of grants to counties for costs related to the operations
    44  of public safety dispatch centers, to be distributed pursuant to a  plan

    46  services and approved by the director  of  the  budget.  Such  plan  may
    47  consider such factors as population density and emergency call volume.
    48    § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
