To apply for expedited deployment funding, such local public safety answering  points  shall submit a written enhanced wireless 911 plan. An enhanced wireless 911 plan shall include the following  information  and such  other information as may be required pursuant to standards adopted by the board:  (a) a timeframe for planned enhanced wireless 911 implementation;  (b) a list of all  wireless  service  suppliers  licensed  to  provide service in the county;  (c)  a  financial plan, including a summary of projected costs related to equipment purchase, installation and approved  maintenance  necessary to provide enhanced wireless 911 service;  (d)  a  list  of  specific  projects eligible for expedited deployment funding contained in the financial plan;  (e) a description of technologies  to  be  used  to  provide  enhanced wireless 911 service;  (f) documentation supporting the local public safety answering point's ability  to receive and utilize enhanced wireless 911 information within one hundred eighty days of the submission of the plan; and  (g) a resolution from the governmental  entity  supporting  the  local public   safety  answering  point's  request  for  expedited  deployment funding.   3. The board shall have ninety days to review and approve  such  local public  safety  answering  point's  enhanced wireless 911 plan. The plan shall be determined by the board to be  complete  or  incomplete  within ninety  days  of  receipt  of  the  plan.  If the board does not issue a determination of completeness or incompleteness within  ninety  days  of receipt of the plan, the plan shall be deemed approved. Upon approval of the  local  public safety answering point's plan, the board shall submit recommendations  for  expedited  deployment  funding  contained  in   an approved  enhanced  wireless  911  plan  to the New York state dormitory authority on a monthly basis  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  section sixteen hundred eighty-nine-h of the public authorities law.   4.  (a)  The  dormitory authority shall make final determinations with respect to such recommendations not later than the end of the  following month and shall convey such recommendations to the department of state.  (b)   The   department   of   state,  in  accordance  with  the  final determinations by  the  dormitory  authority,  shall  distribute  monies appropriated for this purpose to the local public safety answering point for  the payment of eligible wireless 911 service costs pursuant to this section and in accordance with the provisions of section sixteen hundred eighty-nine-h of the public authorities law.  (c) A local public safety answering point whose plan has  been  denied or who has been denied funding may appeal such denial to the board.   5.  Following  distribution  of  expedited deployment funds, the local public safety answering points shall submit receipts  to  accompany  the approved   vouchers  demonstrating  that  such  expenditures  have  been incurred.  Any  local  public  safety  answering  point  which  utilizes expedited deployment funding for purposes other than those authorized by the  board  shall  be  provided with written notice by the board of such unauthorized expenditures. Upon receipt of the notice, the local  public safety  answering  point  shall  cease  making any expenditure involving expedited deployment funding. The local public  safety  answering  point may  petition  and  shall  receive  a  hearing before the board within a reasonable time. At the board's  discretion,  the  local  public  safety  answering  point  shall  be  required  to  refund within thirty days any expedited deployment funding spent on unauthorized  expenditures.  Local public  safety  answering points which fail to cease making unauthorized expenditures  or  fail  to  comply  with  a  request to refund expedited deployment funding shall be subject to a suspension of future funding by the board.   6. Money shall not be allocated  for  any  item  other  than  eligible wireless  911 service costs as defined in subdivision sixteen of section three hundred twenty-five of this article.
