AI Summary
This bill aims to equitably support enhanced 911 (E-911) service. It amends existing law to require sellers of prepaid wireless service to collect a surcharge from end users at the point of sale and remit it to the Department of Revenue. The Department of Revenue will then forward the funds to the state treasurer for deposit in the E-911 Fund. The bill also allows sellers to deduct up to a 5% administrative fee to cover the costs of collection and remittance, with the exception of sellers licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to provide Commercial Mobile Radio Service, who are not permitted to retain any administrative fee.
