This legislation is critically important to the future of 9-1-1 in Illinois. Strong support through witness slips will help demonstrate to legislators that the public safety community, local governments, and ETSBs understand the importance of sustainable 9-1-1 funding.
Your outreach matters. A strong showing of support from 9-1-1 professionals, local governments, and ETSB leaders across Illinois can make a real difference.
Thank you in advance for your immediate attention and support,
John Ferraro - IL NENA President
Brent Reynolds – IL APCO President
