Service provider bankruptcys

From Scott Ekberg, 911 Coordinating Council Liaison:  Recently a PSAP was notified of a bankruptcy filing by a service provider.  This brought up the question of how bankruptcy filings and claims for unpaid 911 fee funds would be handled.  The LCPA has stated that on any such filings, where the unpaid fees were a significant amount, the LCPA would file the proof of claim in an attempt to recover these unpaid 911 fees.  The LCPA would disburse any recovered monies to the affected PSAPs.  This will alleviate the individual PSAPs from having to file proof of claims.  If you have any comments or concerns, please contact Scott Ekberg, 911 Liaison at 785-861-3098 or by email at scott.ekberg@us.army.mil.

This information will also be posted on the 911 Coordinating Council’s website:  http://www.kansas911.org
