Explanation
(The introduced budget included an amendment to redistribute funds among three E-911 service areas in the second year. This was done to conform to recently established policy set by the Wireless Emergency-911 Services Board, where E-911 grant program funds are to be taken from the core service area rather than spread amongst the three service areas. Associated language changes were made, but erroneously, the changes to service area amounts were not reflected in the bill. This amendment correctly redistributes E-911 appropriations based on policy approved by the Wireless Emergency-911 Services Board. Though the redistributions result in a zero-sum, they will ensure the transparent allocation of service grants to E-911 service centers and wireless providers.)
