North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 143B. Executive Organization Act of 1973 § 143B-1405. Fund distribution to CMRS providers

(a) Distribution.--CMRS providers are eligible for reimbursement from the 911 Fund for the actual costs incurred by the CMRS providers in complying with the requirements of enhanced 911 service.

The balance of the payment is deferred to the following month.

(c) PSAP Grant and Statewide Project Reallocation.--If the amount of reimbursements to CMRS providers budgeted by the 911 Board for a fiscal year exceeds the amount of funds disbursed for reimbursements to CMRS providers for that fiscal year, the 911 Board may reallocate the excess amount to the Accounts established under G.S. 143B-1407. The 911 Board may reallocate funds under this subsection only once each calendar year and may do so only within the three-month period that follows the end of the fiscal year.
