Sec. 28-24-4. Subsidization of municipalities with populations in excess of 40,000

(a) The formula detailed in subsection (j) of Section 28-24-3 of sections 28-24-1 to 28-24-14, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies shall be used for calculation of the subsidy for municipalities with populations in excess of forty thousand.

(b) The subsidy for municipalities utilizing secondary answering points for emergency telecommunications services shall be reduced annually, as calculated in variable c₂, which is defined in subsection (j)(4) of Section 28-24-3 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. In the event that a municipality with a reduced subsidy reorganizes its emergency telecommunications operations in a manner that eliminates the secondary operation, the funding level of that municipality shall be restored to the level calculated under the formula for a full service emergency telecommunications center. Requests to restore funding must be submitted to the Department of Public Safety, Office of State-Wide Emergency Telecommunications, no later than sixty days prior to the start of the quarter.

(c) Subsidies to municipalities with populations in excess of forty thousand shall be given either as an eligible municipality, as a regional emergency telecommunications center or as a multi-town PSAP.
