Prepaid Wireless 9-1-1 Fees
This document is intended to assist the drafting of new or modified rules, regulations or statutes concerning the application of 9-1-1 fees/surcharges for prepaid wireless service. The language provides more than one method for implementing a 9-1-1 fee/surcharge for prepaid wireless service. This approach was taken due to the reality that not all stakeholders in the states (prepaid wireless service providers, retail providers, 9-1-1 governing authorities, Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) and others) will necessarily agree on a single method to impose and collect a 9-1-1 fee for prepaid wireless service. The options described in the document have largely been taken from versions of existing state statutes with some modifications.
