Title

Cell phone service, including prepaid, E-911 service charge, decreased, collection on prepaid on each sale, collection provided for, Prepaid Wireless 911 Charge Act, Secs. 11-98A-1 to 11-98A-7, inclusive, added; Sec. 11-98-7 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, the Commercial Mobile Radio Service Board levies a service charge on cellular telephones for E-911 service in the amount of 70 cents per month per customer.

This bill would lower the amount of the service charge to 65 cents per month.

This bill would impose a uniform, statewide prepaid wireless 911 charge on each retail sale of prepaid wireless telecommunications services in the same amount as the E-911 fee per month of regular cell phone service; and would preclude the application of other state and local 911 or E-911 charges to the services.
