(a) (1) Except for the amounts withheld by the LCPA pursuant to K.S.A. 12-5368(b), and amendments thereto, and any amounts withheld pursuant to K.S.A. 12-5364(l), and amendments thereto, not later than 30 days after the receipt of 911 fees from providers pursuant to K.S.A. 12-5370, and amendments thereto, and prepaid wireless 911 fees from the department pursuant to K.S.A. 12-5372, and amendments thereto, the LCPA shall distribute such moneys to the PSAPs or to governing bodies that contract with another governing body of a PSAP for the provision of 911 PSAP services. The amount of money distributed to the PSAPs in each county, or to any governing body that contracts with another governing body of a PSAP for the provision of 911 PSAP services, shall be based upon the amount of 911 fees collected from service users located in that county, based on place of primary use information provided by the providers, by using the following distribution method:
Population of county Percentage of collected
911 fees to distribute
Over 80,000 85%
65,000 to 79,999 88%
55,000 to 64,999 91%
45,000 to 54,999 94%
35,000 to 44,999 97%
Less than 35,000 100%
(2) If the calculated amount for distribution within a county is less than $70,000, the $70,000 shall be distributed for services within that county.
(3) If there is a single PSAP providing services for a county, such PSAP shall receive the governing body's distribution, if any. If there is more than one PSAP in a county then distributions to each PSAP shall be proportionately divided between the PSAPs in the county.
(4) All moneys remaining after distribution, moneys withheld pursuant to K.S.A. 12-5368(b)(1), and amendments thereto, and any moneys that cannot be attributed to a specific PSAP or governing body shall be transferred to the 911 operations fund.
(b) All fees remitted to the LCPA shall be deposited in the 911 state fund and for the purposes of this act be treated as if they are public funds, pursuant to article 14 of chapter 9 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto.
(c) All moneys in the 911 state fund that have been collected from the prepaid wireless 911 fee shall be deposited in the 911 operations fund unless $3 million of such moneys have been deposited in any given year then all remaining moneys shall be distributed to the governing bodies of PSAPs in an amount proportional to each county's population as a percentage share of the population of the state. If there is more than one PSAP in a county, such moneys shall be distributed to each PSAP in an amount proportional to the PSAP's population as a percentage share of the population of the county. If there is no PSAP within a county, then such moneys shall be distributed to the governing body that contracts with another governing body of a PSAP for the provision of 911 PSAP services. Moneys distributed to governing bodies and PSAPs pursuant to this section only shall be used for the uses authorized in K.S.A. 12-5375, and amendments thereto.
(d) The LCPA shall keep accurate accounts of all receipts and disbursements of moneys from the 911 fees.
(e) Records provided by any provider to the LCPA or to the 911 coordinating council pursuant to this act shall be treated as proprietary records and shall be withheld from the public upon request of the provider submitting such records.
CAUTION: Section was amended to be effective on July 1, 2025, and January 1, 2026, see L. 2024, ch. 53, §§ 24, 25.
