AI Summary

This bill aims to equitably support enhanced 911 (E911) service in Massachusetts. It amends the existing law to require sellers of prepaid wireless services to collect the E911 surcharge from end users at the point of sale and remit it to the state Department of Revenue. The Department of Revenue will then forward the funds to the state treasurer for deposit in the Enhanced 911 Fund. The bill also allows sellers to deduct up to 5% of the monthly surcharge revenue as an administrative fee, except for sellers licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to provide Commercial Mobile Radio Service, who are not permitted to retain any administrative fee. The regulations promulgated under this bill will take effect on July 1, 2019.
