HB 1207: Enhanced 911 excise taxes

Revising provisions for enhanced 911 excise taxes.

Summary

  • The Department of Revenue is authorized to enforce and administer the state E-911 tax, and adopt rules to implement the act. If a telephone company goes out of business, and the department determines there is no reasonable means of collecting the taxes from the corporation, the person in charge of remitting the state E-911 revenues may be personally liable for any unpaid taxes, interest, and penalties.
