9-1-1 Funding
and the Florida Legislature
Rolf Preuss, ENP, FPEM
9-1-1 Coordinator/Radio Systems Manager
Flagler County
Objectives
• How legislation is created
• Challenge to Collect 9-1-1 Fees on Prepaid
Wireless in Florida
• Proposed Legislative Funding Changes
• Funding and resulting Revenues
• Awareness for current Legislative Issues
2
How is Legislation made?
• Do we really want to know the details?
3
How is Legislation made?
• A Citizen, a group or a legislator
may have concerns, issues or an idea
• A Representative (member) introduces a bill
(bills can be introduced in House or Senate)
• Bill is “Drafted” by staff, Numbered and Filed
• Bill is “Read” in “First Reading”
(usually by publication in the journal)
4
How is Legislation made?
• Bill is referred to one or more
“Committees” or “Subcommittees”
• Chair of Committee places bill on
committee agenda to be “heard” publically
• Many bills “die” without ever being heard
• Once heard and voted favorably by committees,
it is placed on calendar for “Second Reading”
on the “Floor” (the entire body)
5
How is Legislation made?
• A special Committee decides when bill is
actually introduced for “Second Reading”
• Bill is explained, questions answered and
“Amendments” considered
• At “Third Reading”, bill receives final vote
• When voted favorably, bill is passed
from House to Senate with a “Message”
6
How is Legislation made?
Senate Options:
1. Vote to pass without amendments and
return
2. Vote to pass with amendments and return
3. Refer bill to committee for consideration
4. Defeat bill on floor
7
How is Legislation made?
1. Received by House without amendments:
Bill in final form (“Enrolled”) is sent to
Governor for consideration
2. Received by House with amendments:
Returned to floor for further consideration
– or –
Assigned to conference committee
(to work out the details)
8
How is Legislation made?
Governor’s consideration:
1. Sign bill into Law
2. Allow bill to become law without signature
3. Veto bill (Legislature may override veto during next session)
Key Point:
At any point of “consideration” the bill may die
9
How does this affect us?

could be as low as*

The BIG Question:
What is the Percentage of Prepaid Wireless?
33
* As in HB 175 and SB 294 (as introduced)
What is the Percentage of Prepaid Wireless?
Source: CTIA's "50 Wireless Quick Facts“, CTIA
#20. "Prepaid/Pay-As-You-Go services' share of overall wireless
market (penetration) is 23.4%, equal to more than 76.4 million
wireless prepaid/pay-as-you-go subscribers as of December
2012"
Source: US Mobile Data Market Update Q2 2012, Chetan Sharma
“Driven largely by the economy, the prepaid subscriptions went
past 100 M for the first time in the US market.”
[based on above, this is equivalent of 31.1%]
34
What is the Percentage of Prepaid Wireless?
23.4% (CTIA) + 31.1% (Sharma) = 27.25%
2
Unfortunately, 27.25% is not
the absolute answer
Past Events in Florida have shown a
large variation in the Distribution of
Prepaid Wireless
In the absence of more accurate data,
we will have to make assumptions
and allow for ample variances

  • 4. How is Legislation made? • A Citizen, a group or a legislator may have concerns, issues or an idea • A Representative (member) introduces a bill (bills can be introduced in House or Senate) • Bill is “Drafted” by staff, Numbered and Filed • Bill is “Read” in “First Reading” (usually by publication in the journal) 4
  • 5. How is Legislation made? • Bill is referred to one or more “Committees” or “Subcommittees” • Chair of Committee places bill on committee agenda to be “heard” publically • Many bills “die” without ever being heard • Once heard and voted favorably by committees, it is placed on calendar for “Second Reading” on the “Floor” (the entire body) 5
  • 6. How is Legislation made? • A special Committee decides when bill is actually introduced for “Second Reading” • Bill is explained, questions answered and “Amendments” considered • At “Third Reading”, bill receives final vote • When voted favorably, bill is passed from House to Senate with a “Message” 6
  • 7. How is Legislation made? Senate Options: 1. Vote to pass without amendments and return 2. Vote to pass with amendments and return 3. Refer bill to committee for consideration 4. Defeat bill on floor 7
  • 8. How is Legislation made? 1. Received by House without amendments: Bill in final form (“Enrolled”) is sent to Governor for consideration 2. Received by House with amendments: Returned to floor for further consideration – or – Assigned to conference committee (to work out the details) 8
  • 9. How is Legislation made? Governor’s consideration: 1. Sign bill into Law 2. Allow bill to become law without signature 3. Veto bill (Legislature may override veto during next session) Key Point: At any point of “consideration” the bill may die 9
