    Sec. 8.5. Reimbursement for additional trunk line installation, repairs, and fees. (a) A public safety agency, public agency, qualified governmental entity, or Emergency Telephone System Board may seek reimbursement from the Commission for installation of an additional trunk line to a public safety agency's 9-1-1 system by submitting one or more affidavits to the Commission stating that: (1) an employee or designee of a public safety agency was required to physically transfer 9-1-1 calls at the private branch exchange due to a failure by a system provider's trunk line 3 or more times within a 12-month period; (2) an additional trunk line has been installed following the occurrences in paragraph (1); and (3) a receipt evidencing the installation of the additional trunk line installation is attached to the affidavit. (b) If the Commission receives an affidavit or affidavits meeting the requirements of subsection (a), the Commission shall reimburse the public safety agency, public agency, qualified governmental entity, or Emergency Telephone System Board for the installation of the additional trunk line to the public safety agency's 9-1-1 system within 90 days of receipt. (c) After being reimbursed by the Commission for the installation of an additional trunk line under subsection (b), a public safety agency, public agency, qualified governmental entity, or Emergency Telephone System Board may request reimbursement for any repairs and monthly trunk line fees for the additional trunk line by submitting one or more affidavits, but no more than 4 requests may be submitted in any calendar year, requesting reimbursement of repairs and monthly trunk line fees. Invoices for any repairs and monthly trunk line fees must be attached to any affidavit submitted. The Commission must submit reimbursement for the repairs and monthly trunk line fees within 90 days of receipt. (d) The Commission shall not reimburse a public safety agency, public agency, qualified governmental entity, or Emergency Telephone System Board for more than one additional trunk line and its related repairs and fees.

    This establishes a new process for public safety agencies to receive reimbursement for additional trunk lines and related expenses due to service provider failures.
