2026 911 Fee Disbursement Final Report

The Georgia Emergency Communications Authority (GECA) has released the 911 Advisory Committee’s 2026 911 Fee Disbursement Final Report. The findings and recommendations are those of the 911 Advisory Committee.

As part of its review of Next Generation 911 (NG911) funding, the House Study Committee on Funding for Next Generation 911 recommended a constitutional amendment to allow the General Assembly to create a dedicated 911 fund. It also recommended forming a legislative working group with local 911 stakeholders to study how Georgia distributes 911 fees.

The GECA Board of Directors established the 911 Advisory Committee as a standing body to advise the Board on 911 funding, operations, technology, training, and policy. The committee includes representatives from each GECA region and three 911 professional associations. Before the November vote, the committee reviewed Georgia’s current 911 funding practices, heard testimony from multiple states about their funding practices, and held a collaborative workshop to develop its recommendations.

On November 3, Georgia voters approved Amendment 3 (HR 1243) with 77.73% voting in favor. This amendment authorizes the General Assembly to create the Next Generation 911 Fund to be used exclusively for the expansion, maintenance, and operation of Georgia’s 911 systems, including the transition to NG911. The Advisory Committee’s report is available as a resource for future legislative discussions on 911 funding.
