LB576

Nebraska LB576 amends the Enhanced Wireless 911 Services Act by changing surcharges and public hearing requirements.

Nebraska LB576 modifies the Enhanced Wireless 911 Services Act by altering the surcharges collected from wireless service users. It allows sellers to opt out of collecting a surcharge if the service is priced at ten minutes or less or five dollars or less. The bill also changes the method for calculating the surcharge, setting it at up to one dollar seventy cents per month. Additionally, it mandates the Department of Revenue to determine the surcharge amount and requires annual public hearings by the Public Service Commission to assess necessary revenue for Enhanced Wireless 911 Services.
