costs based on the population of an eligible municipality in proportion

in the two thousand census. On or before August first, two thousand two,

and annually thereafter, the department of state shall determine the

municipalities eligible to apply for reimbursement of eligible wireless

same meaning as in section three hundred one of this chapter. A

municipality shall be eligible to apply for reimbursement if a local

public safety answering point has operated in such municipality at any

time during the twelve month period immediately preceding the annual

determination of eligible municipalities.

2. A municipality shall be eligible for one hundred percent of the

total amount allocated to the municipality except that in any

municipality where on the effective date of this subdivision a local

public safety answering point serviced a city, town or village within

the municipality, such city, town or village shall be entitled to share

in such allocation pursuant to section three hundred thirty-one of this

article. The municipality shall distribute its allocations to eligible

local public safety answering points in accordance with an equitable

distribution based upon eligible 911 service costs incurred.

appropriated to the department of state from the miscellaneous special

revenue fund (339), local wireless public safety answering point

account, seven and one-half percent in state fiscal year two thousand

two--two thousand three, ten percent in state fiscal year two thousand

three--two thousand four, and five percent in state fiscal year two

thousand four--two thousand five of the total amount available shall be

allocated exclusively for costs incurred in commencing the provision of

wireless 911 service after January first, nineteen hundred ninety-three

and prior to January first, two thousand two by local public safety

answering points that received wireless 911 calls during such period. On

or before August first, two thousand two the department of state shall

determine the municipalities eligible to apply for reimbursement

pursuant to this subdivision and shall allocate such moneys among the

eligible municipalities on a per capita basis in accordance with federal

census data as determined in the two thousand census. Such costs shall

include capital expenditures related to the operation of local public

safety answering points, including any reasonable costs incurred to

facilitate the sharing of basic or enhanced wireless 911 information.

4. The department of state shall calculate the allocations and notify

each eligible municipality by September fifteenth of each year of the

amount of its allocation or allocations that shall be available for that

year. Allocations for each year may be utilized by an eligible

municipality in whole or in part for a period of thirty-six months after

the department of state notifies the eligible municipality of its

allocation, provided, however that an allocation can be combined with

subsequent allocations. The department of state may grant an extension

of time to a municipality to utilize its allocation for good cause

shown. If after the three year period, any amount of the allocation is

not expended, disbursed or encumbered, such allocations shall be

available for the next calculation of allocations for all eligible

municipalities.
