California AB1863 prohibits fire protection districts from charging fees for 911 emergency calls unless emergency services are provided.

California AB1863 amends the Health and Safety Code to prevent fire protection districts from imposing fees on the public for using 911 emergency telephone numbers unless emergency services are rendered. The bill mandates that district boards must provide public notice and data on costs and revenue sources before establishing or increasing fees. It also allows for a reasonable annual charge for mailed notices to interested parties. Any costs related to the meetings discussing fees can be recovered from the fees themselves.
