In 2007, the CMRS Board requested an amendment through the Legislative Research Commission to 202 KAR 6:100, the regulation that encompasses initial Phase II Certification requirements and other requirements necessary to maintain Phase II Certification.

As part of the process, the KENA/APCO membership was given an opportunity to comment on recommended changes and a public hearing was scheduled by the CMRS Board.  The proposed amendment completed the state review process and became effective August 31, 2007.

Here is a summary of significant changes to the regulation:

• Road centerlines shall be prepared and attributed with only items outlined in the CMRS Board "PSAP Mapping Requirements" Table.

Changes to the geospatial audit:
