SB 6111: 911 communications funding

Providing for 911 emergency communications funding.

Summary

  • The up to 20 cent per-month state Enhanced 911 excise tax is extended to cellular telephone lines. Until a system of automatic location identification is available for cellular telephones in all counties, the revenue raised from placing this tax on cellular telephone lines must be used to fund planning and implementation of Enhanced 911 for cellular telephone lines.
