Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024
Section 169-3-2 - Final Distribution and Use of Remaining Amounts in Fund2.1. Distribution and Use of Fund.The board shall, as its last act prior to its termination, transfer to eligible county commissions any remaining amounts in the fund, according to the formula contained in W. Va. Code §24-6- 6b(d)(1): Provided, That the provisions of § 24-6-6 b(d)(1) by which a county may receive a special eight and one half tenths of one percent because of the date upon which it enacted its 9-1-1 ordinance are not applicable to the apportionment of funds transferred pursuant to this rule. In accordance with the Legislature's express intention under W. Va. Code §§ 24E-1-1 and 24E-1-5 that the fund be used solely for establishment of a statewide addressing and mapping system primarily for emergency services purposes, those amounts may be used by county commissions solely to implement and maintain the project or the system within each county primarily for emergency services purposes.2.2. Ineligible County Commissions.Any county commission that fails to comply fully with the board's standards and other requirements for the statewide addressing and mapping system, and that does not remedy its failure, or demonstrate substantial progress toward doing so and obtain an appropriate waiver from the board by the time of the final distribution of the fund, is ineligible to receive any distribution from the fund. Instead, the board shall distribute the share of the fund that the county commission would have received to the eligible county commissions, in the same proportions and manner as wireless enhanced 9-1-1 fees are distributed to county commissions under W. Va. Code § 24-6-6b for the year in which the remaining amounts from the fund are distributed.
