332 - Allocations.

* § 332. Allocations. 1. Of the monies appropriated to the department
of state from the miscellaneous special revenue fund - (339), local
wireless public safety answering point account, the department of state
shall allocate such monies annually for eligible wireless 911 service
costs based on the population of an eligible municipality in proportion
to other eligible municipalities, from federal census data as determined
in the two thousand census. On or before August first, two thousand two,
and annually thereafter, the department of state shall determine the
municipalities eligible to apply for reimbursement of eligible wireless
911 service costs. "Municipality" as used in this section shall have the
same meaning as in section three hundred one of this chapter. A
municipality shall be eligible to apply for reimbursement if a local
public safety answering point has operated in such municipality at any
time during the twelve month period immediately preceding the annual
determination of eligible municipalities.

2. A municipality shall be eligible for one hundred percent of the
total amount allocated to the municipality except that in any
municipality where on the effective date of this subdivision a local
public safety answering point serviced a city, town or village within
the municipality, such city, town or village shall be entitled to share
in such allocation pursuant to section three hundred thirty-one of this
article. The municipality shall distribute its allocations to eligible
local public safety answering points in accordance with an equitable
distribution based upon eligible 911 service costs incurred.

3. Notwithstanding paragraph two of this section, of the monies
appropriated to the department of state from the miscellaneous special
revenue fund (339), local wireless public safety answering point
account, seven and one-half percent in state fiscal year two thousand
two--two thousand three, ten percent in state fiscal year two thousand
three--two thousand four, and five percent in state fiscal year two
thousand four--two thousand five of the total amount available shall be
allocated exclusively for costs incurred in commencing the provision of
wireless 911 service after January first, nineteen hundred ninety-three
and prior to January first, two thousand two by local public safety
answering points that received wireless 911 calls during such period. On
or before August first, two thousand two the department of state shall
determine the municipalities eligible to apply for reimbursement
pursuant to this subdivision and shall allocate such moneys among the
eligible municipalities on a per capita basis in accordance with federal
census data as determined in the two thousand census. Such costs shall
include capital expenditures related to the operation of local public
safety answering points, including any reasonable costs incurred to
facilitate the sharing of basic or enhanced wireless 911 information.

4. The department of state shall calculate the allocations and notify
each eligible municipality by September fifteenth of each year of the
amount of its allocation or allocations that shall be available for that
year. Allocations for each year may be utilized by an eligible
municipality in whole or in part for a period of thirty-six months after
the department of state notifies the eligible municipality of its
allocation, provided, however that an allocation can be combined with
subsequent allocations. The department of state may grant an extension
of time to a municipality to utilize its allocation for good cause
shown. If after the three year period, any amount of the allocation is
not expended, disbursed or encumbered, such allocations shall be
available for the next calculation of allocations for all eligible
municipalities.
