Commissioner Thomas and Carrie Gray, Assistant County Administrator
provided an update on Act 12 of 2015 signed by the Governor on June 29, 2015. Ms.
Gray said this is a four year bill that will sunset in June 2019 and will increase wireless
and wireline charges to $1.65, effective August 1, 2015. These fees will be collected by
the State which will distribute to PE A. PE MA will distribute the funds to the counties
based on a temporary formula initially. The final formula will be determined by a newly
legislated 911 Board made up of 911 professionals, Legislators and County
Commissioners or their designees. Ms. Gray said that Act 12 includes a provision that
counties must adopt a resolution authorizing receipt of the 911 funds. She said we will
have more flexibility on how to spend the funding. Commissioner Thomas said this will
be similar to a block grant process.
