- House Committee Substitute -

HCS/SB 795 - The act provides new definitions regarding emergency communications. Counties may establish an emergency communications commission composed of seven members. Such counties may levy an additional property tax or sales tax, upon voter approval in order to operate the system. All moneys collected must be deposited in the Emergency Communications System Fund. Obligations by the county may be paid out of the fund or by the issuance of bonds.

This act authorizes the boiler and pressure vessel board to set fees for inspection, permits, licenses, and certificates required by the board. All fees collected shall be deposited into the "Boiler and Pressure Vessels Safety Fund." Money shall be appropriated from the fund to pay for board expenses.

This act is similar to HB 280 (2001).
