INENA/IL APCO Town Hall Meeting
***UPDATE: Date: July 8, 2025 ***
Time: 08:00AM- 09:30AM
Location: Virtual
Dear INENA and IL APCO Members,
The INENA and IL APCO Joint Legislative Committee had originally scheduled a Town Hall for June 10 to discuss two new legislative bills introduced in the House and Senate. These bills, introduced at our request, are critical to advancing efforts to increase the 9-1-1 surcharge and support the long-term sustainability of our emergency communications systems.
Based on the guidance of our legislative consultants, we are postponing the Town Hall to Tuesday, July 8 at 8:00 AM. This brief delay is intended to give legislators time to regroup following an intense legislative session. By allowing them a chance to catch their breath, we believe we will create a more receptive environment for our conversations and increase the likelihood of support for our proposed legislation.
The rescheduled Town Hall will still focus on our coordinated approach to engaging local legislators, and we will provide an updated one-pager for use in those conversations.
As always, please monitor INENA communications, PSConnect, and our social media platforms for any additional updates prior to the meeting.
Thank you for your continued engagement and commitment as we work together to move 9-1-1 forward.
Sincerely,
Diana Stiles, President,
Brent Reynolds, President, Illinois APCO
On behalf of the INENA and IL APCO Joint Legislative Committee

“As we continue to lead the transition to #NG911 technologies, it's imperative that we elevate 9-1-1 professionals’ knowledge of #cybersecurity issues,” said NENA Past President Gary Bell. Our latest partnership with @CISecurity will do just that (and more)!”
