Bill
S 910
Expands the 9-1-1 System and Emergency Response Trust Fund to cover counties' and municipalities' 9-1-1 costs, and prioritizes funding to larger regional PSAPs.
Note: The materials you provided appear to include text from multiple, unrelated bills and contain conflicting metadata (different titles, jurisdictions, and legislative actions). The packet includes (a) New Jersey bill text amending the 9‑1‑1 System and Emergency Response Trust Fund, (b) Massachusetts Senate Bill No. 910 on Association Health Plans, and (c) an initial header/title referencing a “returning veterans tax credit” (S 910) for businesses — but no substantive text for a veterans tax credit was provided. Below I summarize the two identifiable bill texts and note the gaps and procedural inconsistencies.
Summary — New Jersey: Amendment to 9‑1‑1 System and Emergency Response Trust Fund (P.L.2004, c.48; C.52:17C‑19)
- Purpose and intent
- Expand allowable uses of the State’s 9‑1‑1 System and Emergency Response Trust Fund to directly support costs incurred by counties and municipalities for 9‑1‑1 emergency services and to establish a prioritization rule for distributing funds to local public safety answering points (PSAPs).
- Key provisions / changes
- Amends section 3 of P.L.2004, c.48 (C.52:17C‑19) to add a new eligible use (subsection (9)) permitting appropriation of Fund monies to pay costs incurred by counties and municipalities for provision and maintenance of 9‑1‑1 emergency services — including emergency response training, operating expenses, and capital expenses.
- Adds a distribution priority in subsection (c): the Attorney General must promulgate rules to allocate Fund monies first to county, regionalized, or large centralized PSAPs; remaining funds may then be distributed to other local PSAPs.
- Who is affected
- Counties, municipalities, and local PSAPs in New Jersey that provide 9‑1‑1 services; state agencies that operate or fund emergency telecommunications and the Statewide Public Safety Communications Commission.
- Procedural/timing aspects
- The introduced version states the act “shall take effect immediately.” (cf: P.L.2013, c.245, s.1 cited.)
- This text appears to be an “Introduced Version.” No appropriation amounts or fiscal notes are included in the text provided.
Summary — Massachusetts: An Act Relative to Association Health Plans (Senate No. 910)
- Purpose and intent
- Authorize operation in the Commonwealth of Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangements (MEWAs) or Association Health Plans (AHPs) to the maximum extent permitted by federal law, subject to state consumer‑protection and solvency safeguards.
- Key provisions / requirements
- The arrangement must comply with all applicable federal law and regulations (explicitly referencing U.S. DOL AHP/Association Health Plan rules).
- Governing documents must require, and the arrangement must in fact be, actuarially sound.
- The arrangement must be conducted in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 266 §30 (related to unfair business practices and solicitation/representation) and Chapter 93A (consumer protection/unfair or deceptive acts).
- Who is affected
- Employers and associations seeking to form or join MEWAs/AHPs in Massachusetts; insurers, plan sponsors, and covered individuals; state regulators enforcing consumer protection and insurance laws.
- Procedural/timing aspects
- Text provided is an introduced bill in the Massachusetts General Court; no effective date or fiscal detail provided in the excerpt.
Conflicts, missing information, and recommended next steps
- The headline you supplied (a returning veterans tax credit) is not supported by any substantive bill text in the materials provided. No provisions, tax amounts, eligibility rules, or effective dates for a veterans tax credit appear in the packet.
- The legislative action log and sponsor list appear to mix items from different jurisdictions and prior sessions; committee referrals and hearing dates conflict across entries.
- If you want a focused summary of a specific S 910 (for example, the returning veterans tax credit), please provide the bill text or confirm the jurisdiction and full text/version you want summarized. If you want further detail on fiscal impact or likely implementation issues for either the NJ 9‑1‑1 amendment or the MA AHP bill, indicate which one and I will expand the analysis.
