Springfield, IL. -On June 30, Illinois closed the 2004 fiscal year with a $1,325,480 diversion from its State wireless E9-1-1 fund.

Money from this fund is distributed to 9-1-1 systems in the State of Illinois to operate 9-1-1 and implement life-saving technology to serve the public in times of an emergency. Without access to these funds, local 9-1-1 systems may not be able to instantly identify the location of a wireless caller.
