In each county in which an emergency communications district has not been created by January 1, 2000, the board shall order an election to be held at the next regularly scheduled general election, pursuant to § 2-3-204, to submit to the voters of the county the question of creating a countywide emergency communications district. In the election to be held, the questions submitted to the qualified voters shall be “For the Emergency Communications District,” or “Against the Emergency Communications District.” Upon approval by a majority of those voting, an emergency communications district is created in accordance with title 7, chapter 86.
In the event that such a referendum is not approved by a majority of those voting, the board shall be authorized to develop and implement a plan for the provision of wireless enhanced 911 service to such county.
