(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2021)
Sec. 15.4. Emergency Telephone System Board; powers.
(a) Except as provided in subsection (e) of this Section,
the corporate authorities of any county or municipality may
establish an Emergency Telephone System Board.
The corporate authorities shall provide for the manner of
appointment and the number of members of the Board, provided
that the board shall consist of not fewer than 5 members, one
of whom must be a public member who is a resident of the local
exchange service territory included in the 9-1-1 coverage
area, one of whom (in counties with a population less than
100,000) may be a member of the county board, and at least 3 of
whom shall be representative of the 9-1-1 public safety
agencies, including but not limited to police departments,
fire departments, emergency medical services providers, and
emergency services and disaster agencies, and appointed on the
basis of their ability or experience. In counties with a
population of more than 100,000 but less than 2,000,000, a
member of the county board may serve on the Emergency
Telephone System Board. Elected officials, including members

10200HB3702ham001 - 3 - LRB102 14080 RLC 24994 a
of a county board, are also eligible to serve on the board.
Members of the board shall serve without compensation but
shall be reimbursed for their actual and necessary expenses.
Any 2 or more municipalities, counties, or combination
thereof, may, instead of establishing individual boards,
establish by intergovernmental agreement a Joint Emergency
Telephone System Board pursuant to this Section. The manner of
appointment of such a joint board shall be prescribed in the
agreement. On or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of the 100th General Assembly, any new intergovernmental
agreement entered into to establish or join a Joint Emergency
Telephone System Board shall provide for the appointment of a
PSAP representative to the board.
Upon the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th
General Assembly, appointed members of the Emergency Telephone
System Board shall serve staggered 3-year terms if: (1) the
Board serves a county with a population of 100,000 or less; and
(2) appointments, on the effective date of this amendatory Act
of the 98th General Assembly, are not for a stated term. The
corporate authorities of the county or municipality shall
assign terms to the board members serving on the effective
date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly in the
following manner: (1) one-third of board members' terms shall
expire on January 1, 2015; (2) one-third of board members'
terms shall expire on January 1, 2016; and (3) remaining board
members' terms shall expire on January 1, 2017. Board members

10200HB3702ham001 - 4 - LRB102 14080 RLC 24994 a
may be re-appointed upon the expiration of their terms by the
corporate authorities of the county or municipality.
The corporate authorities of a county or municipality may,
by a vote of the majority of the members elected, remove an
Emergency Telephone System Board member for misconduct,
official misconduct, or neglect of office.
(b) The powers and duties of the board shall be defined by
ordinance of the municipality or county, or by
intergovernmental agreement in the case of a joint board. The
powers and duties shall include, but need not be limited to the
following:
(1) Planning a 9-1-1 system.
(2) Coordinating and supervising the implementation,
upgrading, or maintenance of the system, including the
establishment of equipment specifications and coding
systems.
(3) Receiving moneys from the surcharge imposed under
Section 15.3, or disbursed to it under Section 30, and
from any other source, for deposit into the Emergency
Telephone System Fund.
(4) Authorizing all disbursements from the fund.
(5) Hiring any staff necessary for the implementation
or upgrade of the system.
(6) (Blank).
(7) Designating a 9-1-1 System Manager, whose duties
and responsibilities shall be set forth by the Emergency

10200HB3702ham001 - 5 - LRB102 14080 RLC 24994 a
Telephone System Board in writing.
(c) All moneys received by a board pursuant to a surcharge
imposed under Section 15.3, or disbursed to it under Section
30, shall be deposited into a separate interest-bearing
Emergency Telephone System Fund account. The treasurer of the
municipality or county that has established the board or, in
the case of a joint board, any municipal or county treasurer
designated in the intergovernmental agreement, shall be
custodian of the fund. All interest accruing on the fund shall
remain in the fund. No expenditures may be made from such fund
except upon the direction of the board by resolution passed by
a majority of all members of the board.
(d) The board shall complete a Master Street Address Guide
database before implementation of the 9-1-1 system. The error
ratio of the database shall not at any time exceed 1% of the
total database.
(e) On and after January 1, 2016, no municipality or
county may create an Emergency Telephone System Board unless
the board is a Joint Emergency Telephone System Board. The
corporate authorities of any county or municipality entering
into an intergovernmental agreement to create or join a Joint
Emergency Telephone System Board shall rescind an ordinance or
ordinances creating a single Emergency Telephone System Board
and shall eliminate the single Emergency Telephone System
Board, effective upon the creation of the Joint Emergency
Telephone System Board, with regulatory approval by the

10200HB3702ham001 - 6 - LRB102 14080 RLC 24994 a
Administrator, or joining of the Joint Emergency Telephone
System Board. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
require the dissolution of an Emergency Telephone System Board
that is not succeeded by a Joint Emergency Telephone System
Board or is not required to consolidate under Section 15.4a of
this Act.
(f) Within one year after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, any corporate
authorities of a county or municipality, other than a
municipality with a population of more than 500,000, operating
a 9-1-1 system without an Emergency Telephone System Board or
Joint Emergency Telephone System Board shall create or join a
Joint Emergency Telephone System Board.
