SB 1040 Passed & Signed Into Law
June 5, 2008
Fellow CALNENA Members,
I am pleased to announce that the State Legislature recently passed and Governor Schwarzenegger signed SB 1040, an important bill for 9-1-1 funding. This bill requires VoIP providers to pay a surcharge into the SETNA fund similar to the surcharge required of wireline and wireless service providers. The passage of the bill insures that revenues for the 9-1-1 infrastructure will not be compromised as telephone users switch to alternate forms of communication.
Nick Warner and Associates, our legislative analyst, played a key role in keeping this bill active after it was tabled last year and in advocating for its passage during this year’s legislative session. Daphne Rhoe and her staff at the State 9-1-1 Office also worked hard to make sure that our legislators had the facts about 9-1-1 funding. Members of your CALNENA board, including Past President Lisa Hoffman, testified at legislative hearings about SB1040. This combined effort shows what we can do when we work in unison to promote our mission as 9-1-1 professionals. My thanks to everyone involved in this success.
Charles Cullen
President CALNENA
