The state of Iowa's 9-1-1 boards can now be charged a fee for technology upgrades. Local operators and law enforcement agencies requested that Governor Kim Reynolds veto the bill she signed on Wednesday. Authorities said upgrades are necessary for 9-1-1 systems, but the boards are already struggling to meet operating costs. The law now allows the Iowa 911 Program to request reimbursement for reasonable charges from each joint 911 board.
