3. The board shall have ninety days to review and approve such local public safety answering point's enhanced wireless 911 plan.  The plan shall be determined by the board to be complete or incomplete within ninety days of receipt of the plan.  If the board does not issue a determination of completeness or incompleteness within ninety days of receipt of the plan, the plan shall be deemed approved.  Upon approval of the local public safety answering point's plan, the board shall submit recommendations for expedited deployment funding contained in an approved enhanced wireless 911 plan to the New York state dormitory authority on a monthly basis pursuant to the provisions of section sixteen hundred eighty-nine-h of the public authorities law.

5. Following distribution of expedited deployment funds, the local public safety answering points shall submit receipts to accompany the approved vouchers demonstrating that such expenditures have been incurred.  Any local public safety answering point which utilizes expedited deployment funding for purposes other than those authorized by the board shall be provided with written notice by the board of such unauthorized expenditures.  Upon receipt of the notice, the local public safety answering point shall cease making any expenditure involving expedited deployment funding.  The local public safety answering point may petition and shall receive a hearing before the board within a reasonable time.  At the board's discretion, the local public safety answering point shall be required to refund within thirty days any expedited deployment funding spent on unauthorized expenditures.  Local public safety answering points which fail to cease making unauthorized expenditures or fail to comply with a request to refund expedited deployment funding shall be subject to a suspension of future funding by the board.
