BILL NUMBER: S4294

SPONSOR: MAY
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend chapter 264 of the laws of 2009 amend-
ing the county law relating to communication service surcharges applied
to Onondaga county, in relation to extending the provisions of such
chapter

 
PURPOSE:

This legislation extends the authorization for Onondaga County to charge
a $.65 per access line per month wireline communication service
surcharge to fund the Onondaga County Interoperable Communications
System (OCICS) until 2029.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Amends Chapter 264 of the laws of 2009 extending the effec-
tive date of the law an additional 10 years.

Section 2: Establishes the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

In 2009, the NYS Legislature gave Onondaga County the authority to
charge a $.65 per access line per month wireline communication
surcharge. This funding stream was used to fund the building of the
Onondaga County Interoperable Communications System (OCICS). The OCICS
provides a single interoperable communications platform that supports
more than 160 village, town, county, state, federal and tribal public
safety agencies in Onondaga County. Additionally, Onondaga County main-
tains and shares the OCICS system with Cayuga, Jefferson, Madison, Onei-
da and Oswego counties in the Central NY Interoperable Communications
Consortium helping to support public safety and public service radios
across the region.

The OCICS has been a resounding success in helping first responders
across the region communicate. Onondaga County is seeking to extend this
surcharge for another 10 years. The surcharge generates approximately
$1.2 million to help maintain and upgrade the OCICS system. Addi-
tionally, it will help the County with future maintenance and upgrade
and with the implementation of its next generation 9-1-1 technology.
Extending this surcharge is important to protecting public safety in
Onondaga County and Central NY.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the state. This surcharge generates approximately $1.2 million
per year for Onondaga County.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately
