Bill Summary · HB 2110

Summary — Kansas HB 2110 (2025)

Status: Enacted and signed by the Governor (approved April 1, 2025). Key operative dates in the bill: July 1, 2025 and January 1–2, 2026 (see “Timing & effective dates”).

Purpose

Amends the Kansas 911 Act to (1) shift collection/administration responsibility away from a designated local collection point administrator (LCPA) to the State 911 Board; (2) change when state 911 funds are created and when moneys held outside the State Treasury are transferred in; and (3) change how 911 fee receipts are allocated among three state 911 funds, including removing an existing cap on deposits to the State 911 Grant Fund.

Key provisions

  • Removes statutory requirement that the State 911 Board contract with a local collection point administrator (LCPA). All LCPA duties and obligations are assumed by the State 911 Board; statutory references to LCPAs are removed. Certain LCPA provisions expire January 1, 2026.
  • Creates/reschedules establishment of three funds in the State Treasury:
    • State 911 Operations Fund,
    • State 911 Grant Fund,
    • State 911 Fund. The bill requires these funds be established on July 1, 2025 (earlier than previously scheduled).
  • Distribution of 911 fee remittances (deposit rules):
    • $0.23 of each 911 fee → State 911 Operations Fund.
    • $0.01 of each 911 fee → State 911 Grant Fund.
    • Remaining portion → State 911 Fund.
    • If the Operations Fund receipts would exceed 15% of total 911 fees remitted over the prior 3 years, the excess (over the 15% amount) is instead credited to the Grant Fund.
    • The distribution section is scheduled to take effect January 1, 2026; transfers of 911 fee moneys held outside the State Treasury are to be made January 2, 2026.
  • One-time / transfer authorities:
    • Requires an immediate $1.0 million transfer to the (new) State 911 Operations Fund on July 1, 2025 (from the Board or its contractor).
    • Authorizes the State 911 Board to annually (once per fiscal year) transfer unencumbered prior‑year moneys from the Operations Fund to the Grant Fund, provided such transfers do not impair the Board’s statutory obligations.
  • Removes the previous $2.0 million threshold that had temporarily limited the $0.01 per-fee deposit to the Grant Fund; under HB 2110 the $0.01 remains deposited to the Grant Fund regardless of its balance.
  • Technical and clarifying edits (including minimum distribution language for counties with multiple PSAPs).

Who is affected

  • State 911 Board: assumes LCPA responsibilities and gains additional administrative/financial control.
  • State Treasurer: implements the new deposit/crediting rules.
  • Providers that remit 911 fees: remittance destination/handling follows the Board’s remittance to the Treasurer.
  • Local PSAPs (counties/cities) and municipalities: potential changes in local distributions and revenues (fiscal impacts are uncertain and not precisely estimated in available notes).
  • Entities previously serving as LCPAs: statutory role is eliminated/transitioned.

Timing & fiscal notes

  • Funds creation: July 1, 2025.
  • Immediate required transfer: $1.0M to Operations Fund on July 1, 2025.
  • Distribution provisions: effective January 1, 2026; transfers of moneys held outside the treasury scheduled January 2, 2026.
  • Fiscal impact: State 911 Board indicated no change to agency operations. Potential increase in Grant Fund resources (may reduce local capital needs). Local PSAP and municipal revenue effects are possible but not estimated.
