Representative Martin pushes HR 1243 to create dedicated next‑generation 911 fund for voters to consider
Summary
Representative Martin introduced HR 1243, a proposed constitutional amendment to create a dedicated fund for next‑generation 911 services if approved by voters; he told the committee the measure was unanimous in the House and asked that it stay on track for the ballot.
Representative Martin presented House Resolution 1243 to the committee, describing it as a constitutional amendment that would create a dedicated fund for next‑generation 911 systems if voters approve the proposed change.
"This creates a dedicated fund if the voters HR 1243," Representative Martin said, noting the resolution had been unanimous in the House. He urged the committee to keep the measure moving so voters could decide the question in November.
Committee members did not take a final vote on the resolution during this meeting; the item was among several the committee later agreed to advance to the rules consideration calendar. The sponsor characterized the item as an emergency priority for next‑generation 911 funding, but the transcript records no additional fiscal detail or committee amendments at this session.
Next steps will depend on calendaring and any further committee work; the committee’s procedural vote to advance the slate of bills will determine whether HR 1243 appears on the rules consideration calendar for a future hearing or floor action.
