Missouri SB1562 establishes a surcharge on commercial mobile radio service to support crisis services. Dealers must collect a sixty-five cent charge per prepaid CMRS transaction, while CMRS providers and resellers must collect the same amount per postpaid CMRS line monthly. These charges fund the 988 Crisis Continuum Fund, managed by the Department of Mental Health, for crisis services and open access services. The surcharge applies to services used within the state and is separate from sales tax.
