Each telephone subscriber in Alabama pays $1.86 per phone per month on their phone bill and this revenue is forwarded to the State 9-1-1 Board by telephone service providers.
Subscribers that use a pre-paid telephone service pay a percentage at the point of sale and these funds are also forwarded to the State Board.
The State Board disburses funds to the 85 Emergency Communications Districts that administer local 9-1-1 systems. A monthly report of revenue disbursed to ECDs is available here.
