6/8/06-Gov. Dave Heineman has signed a bill into law that funds enhanced 911 emergency services in the state.
Enhanced 9-1-1 is a service that allows emergency dispatchers to pinpoint the location and phone number of a person on a cell phone without the caller having to say a word.
The new law, previously LB1222, assesses a surcharge of up to 70 cents for cellular customers to help finance the service. Customers based in Omaha will pay up to a 50 cent surcharge.
Each county in the state is required to implement enhanced 9-1-1 service by July 2010.
