Committee backs constitutional amendment to create dedicated Georgia 9‑1‑1 fund

The Public Safety and Homeland Security committee approved House Resolution 1243, which would amend the state constitution to create a dedicated, non‑lapsing Georgia 9‑1‑1 fund to pay for expansion, maintenance and transition to next‑generation 9‑1‑1 systems; sponsors said it would not raise the current fee and would be followed by a working group to set distribution rules.
