AL SB221

Authorizes two or more local 911 districts to contract with each other to jointly exercise powers and provide services that each district is individually authorized to provide.

Requires contracting districts to adopt identical resolutions and hold a public hearing before entering into a joint services contract.

Mandates that joint exercise contracts must state the intent to cooperate, describe the services being jointly exercised, and include a termination date no later than three years from the contract date, with any district able to terminate with 180 days' notice.

Preserves each district's status as an individual political and legal subdivision, ensuring their powers and legal rights are not modified except to the extent necessary to jointly exercise contracted services.

Prohibits joint 911 services from commencing until the Statewide 911 Board certifies that joint operations are ready to occur without service interruption.
