SANTO DOMINGO. If a bill now in the Chamber of Deputies receives a favorable report from the Permanent Interior and Police Commission, they will establish a RD$20 peso tax to be used to establish the 911 system for emergency calls. The tax will be collected on all commercial, residential and cellphone accounts.
Article 13 of the proposed legislation for the Law of the National 911 Emergency System says that "it will count on the transfers made by the central government, donations and any other income that comes from special laws or specific contributions."
It is the faculty of the Administrative Minister of the Presidency to include in his budget the line items that will be necessary for paying for the initial expenses required for the functioning and acquisition of equipment, supplied and personnel for the System.
The system will be directed by an executive director that will be appointed by the Council.
The National 911 Emergency System would coordinate its operations with 15 public institutions.
Article 10 covers the fact that prank, obscene, morbid or insulting calls to 911 will be punished with fines of between 1 and 1.5 minimum salaries of the public sector. The law also punishes the manipulation without authorization of the equipment and computer programs used in the system.

Last week the deputy and president of the Permanent Interior and Police Commission of the Lower Chamber, Elpidio Baez, reported that in order to implement the project it would be necessary for the government to make an initial contribution of US$50 million.
