AI Summary

This bill aims to equitably support enhanced 911 (E911) service in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1. For prepaid wireless service, the seller of such service directly to an end user shall collect the E911 surcharge from the end user at the point of sale 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. 2. The Department of Revenue shall promulgate regulations within 120 days of the effective date of the act for the reporting and remittance of the surcharge, as well as enforcement of such obligations, and shall otherwise administer the surcharge pursuant to Chapter 62C of the General Laws. 3. The seller may deduct from the surcharge remittance an administrative fee not to exceed 5% of the monthly surcharge revenue, except for sellers licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to provide Commercial Mobile Radio Service, who are not permitted to retain any administrative fee. 4. The regulations promulgated under this bill shall take effect on July 1, 2017.
