Kansas divides 911 fees among funds

Beginning January 1, 2026, each unchanged 90-cent monthly 911 fee supplies 23 cents for operations and 1 cent for grants. The remaining 66 cents goes to the State 911 Fund for local distributions. Operations credits above 15% of total fees remitted to the treasurer over the prior three years go to grants. Starting July 1, 2025, the board may also transfer prior-year operations money not committed to spending, once per fiscal year. A board majority must approve, based on operational needs and without impairing the board’s ability to meet legal duties.

Kansas moves 911 money into treasury

The law establishes three state treasury 911 funds on July 1, 2025, instead of January 1, 2026. On July 1, the board or its contractor must move $1 million from outside-treasury operations money into the treasury’s Operations Fund. That day also ends the blanket rule putting receipts from two 911 fee laws into the State 911 Fund. On January 2, 2026, all three outside-treasury funds’ remaining balances and liabilities move into matching treasury funds; the old funds close. These changes move existing public money and do not change household fees.

Providers send 911 fees to board

Beginning January 1, 2026, the Kansas State 911 Board no longer must hire a local fee collection administrator. Providers must send each month’s collected fees directly to the board within 15 days after month-end. They must also file the prior month’s return with the board and keep fee records for three years. These changes affect fee administration, not the amount households owe.
