Authorize Creation of Next Generation 9-1-1 Fund Amendment
Authorize Creation of Next Generation 9-1-1 Fund Amendment
Georgia · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Allow the state legislature to create and dedicate revenue to a fund titled the Georgia Next Generation 9-1-1 Fund
A yes vote means
The state legislature gains the ability to create a dedicated fund for 9-1-1 improvements and decide how much money goes into it.
A no vote means
The legislature cannot create this dedicated fund, and 9-1-1 improvements would have to be funded through the general budget process.
Simple explanation
Right now, the Georgia legislature can't set aside money specifically for improving 9-1-1 services because there's no official fund for it. This amendment is like asking permission to open a special savings account — it lets the legislature create a dedicated fund and put money into it for upgrading emergency call systems to modern technology.
