Bill > SB0273

This bill increases the 911 service prepaid wireless charge and the monthly statewide 911 fee from $1 to $2, effective July 1, 2026. The 911 service prepaid wireless charge applies to retail transactions for prepaid wireless services, with certain exemptions for federal government entities. The monthly statewide 911 fee is assessed on customers with a primary place of use in Indiana, with specific exemptions for government entities and users of wireless data-only plans. An "eligible telecommunications carrier," which provides services to low-income individuals and receives Lifeline reimbursement from the federal universal service fund, is liable for these fees and can bill end users for them. The bill also outlines procedures for the board to adjust these fees, including limitations on the frequency and amount of increases and the requirement for review by the budget committee.
