SUMMARY

 
This bill amends the law establishing emergency E-9-1-1
assessment procedures to clarify that prepaid wireless telephone
service is subject to the same monthly assessment as other
telecommunications service. Under the procedure established by
the bill, an individual customer that purchases, in the State, a
prepaid wireless telephone or a card or other device that allows
additional use of a previously purchased prepaid wireless
telephone shall pay the 50¢ per month assessment by one of 2
methods, as determined by the provider. Under the first method,
the customer shall at the time of purchase pay 50¢ per month for
each month in which the telephone or card may be used by that
customer. Under the 2nd method, the customer shall pay 50¢ per
month at the beginning of each month for which time is left on
the service.
