(50 ILCS 750/6) (from Ch. 134, par. 36)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2025)
Sec. 6. Capabilities of system; pay telephones. All systems shall be
designed to meet the specific
requirements of each community and public agency served by the system.
Every system shall be designed to have
the capability to direct dispatch or to transfer in response to emergency calls. The
General Assembly finds and declares that the most critical aspect of the
design of any system is the procedure established for handling a
telephone request for emergency services.
In addition, to maximize efficiency and utilization of the system,
all pay telephones within each system shall
enable a caller to dial "9-1-1" for emergency services without the
necessity of inserting a coin. This paragraph does not apply to pay
telephones
located in penal
institutions, as defined in Section 2-14 of the Criminal Code of 2012, that
have
been designated for the exclusive use of committed persons.
