HB 1942 - Under current law, at least 6 members of a county Emergency Telephone Service 911 Board must represent public safety agencies. The act increases this requirement to 7 for such members in Polk County and prescribes which agencies the 7 members must represent. The act requires the Emergency Services Board to annually establish a tax rate sufficient to fund emergency services expenditures by no later than September first of each year. The board must publish such rate in its minutes and notify every retailer, by mail, of the new rate. The act states that emergency service boards are bodies politic and political subdivisions of the state. Provisions of the act are similar to the perfected SB 849 (2010). ERIKA JAQUES
