AI Summary

This bill aims to equitably support enhanced 911 (E911) service by authorizing the Department of Revenue to collect a surcharge for 911 services from the end users of prepaid wireless services at the point of sale. The bill requires sellers of prepaid wireless service to collect the surcharge from the end user and remit it to the Department of Revenue, which will then forward the funds to the state treasurer for deposit in the Enhanced 911 Fund. The Department of Revenue is also tasked with promulgating regulations for the reporting, remittance, and enforcement of the surcharge, as well as allowing sellers to deduct up to a 5% administrative fee, with the exception of sellers licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to provide Commercial Mobile Radio Service.
