LEGISLATIVE ACTION
The Legislature appropriates $196,830,352 on an All Funds basis, an increase
of $47,890,352 over the Executive budget submission.
An increase of $20,800,000 will fund the newly created Local Enhanced Wireless
911 Program. A total of $20,000,000 will be available to local governments in
State Fiscal Year 2002-2003 for the acquisition and financing of equipment to
enhance wireless emergency 911 services, while $800,000 will fund personal and
nonpersonal service costs associated with the program. In the first year,
$20,000,000 is available and $10,000,000 a year thereafter for reimbursement
of eligible costs incurred by localities providing wireless emergency
services. The program creates a New York State 911 Board that will be
responsible for establishing the mandatory standards that wireless public
safety answering points must abide by to be eligible for funding.
An additional $700,000 in funding is provided to the Emergency Services
Revolving Loan Fund from expedited loan repayments. Finally, the Legislature
provides $26,390,352 in additional funding for community based programs.
