HB 1293 -- Emergency Services

Sponsor:  Sander

This bill changes the laws regarding emergency services.  In its
main provisions, the bill:

(1)  Requires that all counties, excluding the City of St. Louis,
establish and maintain 911 addressing where enhanced 911 service
has been approved, including areas within municipalities.  The
county governing body may delegate the 911 addressing authority
within a municipality to its governing body.  The 911 addressing
will become the official addresses, and the cost of materials
related to road sign changes will be funded by 911 revenues;

(2)  Authorizes an emergency services communications board with
the powers and duties specified in Section 190.294, RSMo, to be
appointed by a governing body adopting an emergency telephone tax
under Section 190.305; and

(3)  Requires that multistation or private branch exchange
multiline telephone systems purchased or upgraded after
January 1, 2008, be designed and maintained to provide call-back
numbers and emergency response locations.  Requirements for
operators of various types of multiline telephone systems are
specified.
