 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:
 4        Section 5.  The Emergency Telephone System Act is amended
 5    by changing Section 15.4 as follows:
 6        (50 ILCS 750/15.4) (from Ch. 134, par. 45.4)
 7        Sec. 15.4.  Emergency Telephone System Board; powers.
 8        (a)  The   corporate   authorities   of   any  county  or
 9    municipality that imposes  a  surcharge  under  Section  15.3
10    shall  establish  an  Emergency  Telephone System Board.  The
11    corporate  authorities  shall  provide  for  the  manner   of
12    appointment  and the number of members of the Board, provided
13    that the board shall consist of not fewer than 5 members, one
14    of whom may be a public member who is a resident of the local
15    exchange service territory included  in  the  9-1-1  coverage
16    area,  one  of  whom (in counties with a population less than
17    100,000) may be a member of the county board, and at least  3
18    of  whom  shall  be representative of the 9-1-1 public safety
19    agencies, including but not limited  to  police  departments,
20    fire  departments,  emergency medical services providers, and
21    emergency services and disaster agencies,  and  appointed  on
22    the  basis of their ability or experience.  Elected officials
23    are also eligible to serve on  the  board.   Members  of  the
24    board   shall   serve   without  compensation  but  shall  be
25    reimbursed for their actual and necessary expenses.  Any 2 or
26    more municipalities, counties, or combination  thereof,  that
27    impose  a  surcharge  under  Section  15.3  may,  instead  of
28    establishing      individual     boards,     establish     by
29    intergovernmental  agreement  a  Joint  Emergency   Telephone
30    System  Board  pursuant  to  this  Section.   The  manner  of
31    appointment  of such a joint board shall be prescribed in the
HB2607 Engrossed            -2-                LRB9009192KDks
 1    agreement.
 2        (b)  The powers and duties of the board shall be  defined
 3    by   ordinance   of   the   municipality  or  county,  or  by
 4    intergovernmental agreement in the case  of  a  joint  board.
 5    The  powers and duties shall include, but need not be limited

12             (3)  Receiving monies  from  the  surcharge  imposed

14        deposit into the Emergency Telephone System Fund.
15             (4)  Authorizing all disbursements from the fund.

19    surcharge  imposed under Section 15.3 shall be deposited into
20    a separate interest-bearing Emergency Telephone  System  Fund
21    account. The treasurer of the municipality or county that has
22    established  the  board or, in the case of a joint board, any
23    municipal   or   county   treasurer   designated    in    the
24    intergovernmental  agreement, shall be custodian of the fund.
25    All interest accruing on the fund shall remain in  the  fund.
26    No  expenditures  may  be made from such fund except upon the
27    direction of the board by resolution passed by a majority  of
28    all  members  of  the board. Expenditures may be made only to
