Bill > SB1078

This bill increases the uniform 911 surcharge (a fee charged to telecommunications service subscribers to support emergency communication services) from $1.65 to $1.95 per communication service or prepaid wireless device. The new rate will be in effect from the bill's effective date until February 1, 2029. The bill also repeals a section of the Fiscal Code, which is described as necessary to implement the surcharge amendment. The surcharge will continue to be collected separately from other service fees and will apply to each subscriber or consumer billed by a service provider. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing for a quick implementation of the increased surcharge to support 911 emergency communication services.
