(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2015)
Sec. 17. 9-1-1 call transfer, forward, or relay.
(a) The General Assembly finds the following:
(1) Some 9-1-1 systems throughout this State do not
have a procedure in place to manually transfer, forward, or relay 9-1-1 calls originating within one 9-1-1 system's jurisdiction, but which should properly be answered and dispatched by another 9-1-1 system, to the appropriate 9-1-1 system for answering and dispatch of first responders.
(2) On September 25, 1975, the General Assembly gave
oversight authority to 9-1-1 systems in the State to the Illinois Commerce Commission.
(3) Since that date, the Illinois Commerce Commission
has authorized individual 9-1-1 systems in counties and municipalities to implement and upgrade enhanced 9-1-1 systems throughout the State.
(b) The Commission shall prepare a directory of all authorized 9-1-1 systems in the State of Illinois. The directory shall include an emergency 10-digit telephone number for a Primary Public Safety Answering Point located in each 9-1-1 system to which 9-1-1 calls from another jurisdiction can be transferred. This directory shall be made available to each 9-1-1 authority for its use in establishing standard operating procedures regarding calls outside its 9-1-1 jurisdiction.
(c) Each 9-1-1 system shall provide the Manager of the Commission's 9-1-1 Program with the following information:
(1) A 10-digit emergency telephone number to which
9-1-1 calls originating in another 9-1-1 jurisdiction can be transferred. Each 9-1-1 system shall provide the Commission with any changes to this number immediately upon the change occurring. Each 9-1-1 system shall provide this 10-digit emergency telephone number to the Manager of the Commission's 9-1-1 Program within 30 days of the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly.
(2) Its standard operating procedure describing the
manner in which the 9-1-1 system will transfer, forward, or relay 9-1-1 calls originating within its jurisdiction, but which should properly be answered and dispatched by another 9-1-1 system, to the appropriate 9-1-1 system. Each 9-1-1 system shall provide the standard operating procedures to the Manager of the Commission's 9-1-1 Program within 180 days of the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly.
(d) This Section is repealed on December 31, 2015.
