• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 36: LOCAL GOVERNMENT
• Art. 8: PUBLIC SAFETY
• Ch. 16.7: Statewide 911 Services

Text

(a) Subject to subsection (b), the board
shall administer the fund in the following manner:
(1) In each state fiscal year, the board may retain the lesser of:
(A) ten percent (10%) of the statewide 911 fees deposited in the
fund in the previous state fiscal year; or
(B) the amount of fees deposited in the fund in the previous
state fiscal year that would provide for the operating expenses
of the statewide 911 system during the state fiscal year for
which the fees are retained;
to pay the board's expenses in administering this chapter and to
develop, operate, and maintain a statewide 911 system. The board
may decrease the amount of fees retained by the board under this
subdivision.
(2) After retaining the amount set forth in subdivision (1), the
board shall distribute to the counties the remainder of the
statewide 911 fees in the fund. With respect to any state fiscal
year beginning after June 30, 2015, the board shall first ensure a
distribution to each county in an amount that is equal to the total
amount of statewide 911 fees distributed to the county during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2014.
(3) If any statewide 911 fees remain in the fund after the
distributions ensured under subdivision (2), the board shall
distribute the fees as follows:
(A) Ninety percent (90%) of the fees shall be distributed to the
counties based upon each county's percentage of the state's
population.
(B) Ten percent (10%) of the fees shall be distributed equally
among the counties.
(b) The board may not distribute money in the fund in a manner that
impairs the ability of the board to fulfill its management and
administrative obligations under this chapter.
