Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This legislation requires counties to collect the 9-1-1 surcharge from the phone companies, but send it to the state. Counties that properly file a report with the state would be eligible to receive a portion of the 9-1-1 fees based upon a formula that considers population and the number of jurisdictions that properly filed their report. This bill also gives the Department of Revenue the ability to audit service providers. Additionally it raises the prepaid 911 fee to $1.50 across the board. PLEASE REVIEW THIS BILL AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO dnesbit@accg.org.
