Votes at a glance: Oklahoma 9-1-1 Management Authority approves rules, grants and committee appointments
Summary
At a special meeting of the Oklahoma 9-1-1 Management Authority the board approved permanent rules, updated grant guidelines for NG911, created an ad hoc legislative committee, authorized notices to noncompliant PSAPs and approved three grants totaling about $453,910.
The Oklahoma 9-1-1 Management Authority approved a package of actions at a special meeting, including adoption of permanent rules, revisions to fiscal-year 2025 grant guidelines for Next Generation 9‑1‑1, creation of an ad hoc legislative committee and three grant awards.
The authority voted to adopt permanent rules related to 9‑1‑1 governance, reporting and NG911 services as published in the Oklahoma Register; to authorize staff to notify PSAPs not in compliance with required registration forms; to form an ad hoc legislative committee and to approve changes to the FY25 grant guidelines that add NG911 deployment requirements. The board also approved three grant requests: Bartlesville/Washington County GIS remediation for $149,745; Oklahoma Conservation Commission statewide GIS training for $296,664.52; and the City of Shawnee training software for $7,500.
Why it matters: the adopted rules and grant changes set the authority's regulatory and funding posture for NG911 deployment and data management. The notices to noncompliant PSAPs begin a statutory process that can lead to a public hearing and, ultimately, escrow of fee distributions under state rules if compliance is not achieved.
