AB75-SSA1-CA1,176,15 256.35 (3g) Enhanced 911 grants. (a) Surcharges. 1. `In general.' Except as provided in subd. 2., each communications provider shall impose on subscriber bills a monthly surcharge of 75 cents, subject to any adjustment under subd. 3. A communications provider may list the surcharge separately from other charges on a subscriber's bill. Any partial payment of a surcharge by a subscriber shall be applied first to any amount the subscriber owes the communications provider for communications service.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,177,5 2. `Prepaid wireless.' a. A communications provider that offers prepaid wireless service, or a seller that offers prepaid wireless service on behalf of a communications provider, shall impose a surcharge equal to one-half of the surcharge required under subd. 1., as adjusted under subd. 3., on subscribers with respect to each retail transaction for prepaid wireless service that occurs in this state. The communications provider or seller may state the amount of the surcharge separately on an invoice, receipt, or similar document provided to a subscriber, or may otherwise disclose the surcharge to the subscriber. The surcharge is the liability of the subscriber, and not of the communications provider or seller, except that a communications provider or seller is liable to remit all surcharges that the communications provider or seller collects from subscribers, including all such surcharges that the communications provider or seller is considered to collect where the amount of the surcharge is not separately stated on an invoice, receipt, or other similar document provided to the subscriber by the communications provider or seller.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,177,8 b. The commission shall promulgate rules exempting from the surcharge required under subd. 2. a. a transaction that is not considered to be a sale at retail under subch. III of ch. 77.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,177,13 c. For purposes of subd. 2. a., a retail transaction effected in person by a subscriber at a business location of the communications provider occurs in this state if the business location is in this state and any other retail transaction occurs in this state if the location of the retail transaction is in this state as determined under s. 77.522.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,177,22 e. The commission shall promulgate rules establishing requirements and procedures for auditing sellers to determine compliance with this subdivision, including requirements and procedures for appealing determinations of the commission. To the extent practicable, the rules shall incorporate the audit and appeal provisions under ss. 77.59 and 77.61.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,178,2 3. `Adjustments.' a.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,178,13 b. The commission shall annually monitor the revenues, including interest, generated by the surcharges remitted under subd. 4. a. If the commission determines that the surcharges generate revenue in excess of the amount required for grants under par. (d), the commission shall reduce the amount of the surcharge required under subd. 1., but only if the reduction ensures full cost recovery for grant recipients over a reasonable period. If the commission determines that the surcharges remitted under subd. 4. a. generate revenue that is less than the amount required for grants under par. (d), the commission shall increase the surcharge required under subd. 1. by an amount that ensures full cost recovery for grant recipients over a reasonable period, except that, in a year, the commission may not increase the surcharge by an amount greater than an increase allowed for that year under subd. 3. a.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,178,17 c. No later than October 1 of each year the commission shall notify communications providers and sellers who offer prepaid wireless on behalf of communications providers of any adjustment to the surcharge required under subd. 1., and the adjustment shall be effective on January 1 of the following year.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,179,5 4. `Collection and remittance.' a. A communications provider or seller that offers prepaid wireless on behalf of a communication provider shall remit surcharges to the commission no later than the end of the month following the month that the provider or seller collects the surcharges from subscribers, except that a communications provider may deduct and retain from the remittance an administrative allowance equal to $50, or 1 percent of the surcharges collected from subscribers, whichever is greater. The commission may require that communications providers and sellers report the amount of uncollected surcharges on an annual basis, or less frequently as determined by the commission. The commission may require that a communications provider or seller provide the commission with the name, address, and telephone number of a subscriber who refuses to pay a surcharge. The commission shall deposit all remittances under this subd. 4. a. into the 911 fund.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,179,10 b. A communications provider or seller has no obligation to take any legal action to enforce the collection of the surcharge billed to a subscriber. The commission may initiate a collection action against a subscriber for an unpaid surcharge, and recover reasonable costs and, notwithstanding s. 814.04 (1), attorney fees associated with the action.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,179,18 (b) Grant applications; communications providers. A communications provider may apply to the commission for grants for reimbursement of actual, commercially reasonable costs incurred in complying with the requirements for enhanced 911 service, including the costs incurred for designing, upgrading, purchasing, leasing, programming, installing, testing, or maintaining all necessary data, hardware, and software required to provide enhanced 911 service, and the recurring and nonrecurring costs of providing enhanced 911 service. An application shall include invoices for the costs for which reimbursement is claimed.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,180,2 (c) Grant applications; local governments. 1. A local government that operates a wireless public safety answering point that was in operation on November 30, 2008, and that was identified in a resolution adopted under sub.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,180,8 2. If enhanced 911 service was not available in a county on November 30, 2008, and the county designates one local government in the county, or the county itself, as the operator of the primary public safety answering point for the county, the local government or county so designated is eligible for grants under subd. 1. The commission shall promulgate rules establishing requirements and procedures for a county to make a designation under this subdivision.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,180,15 3. Expenses that are eligible for reimbursement under subd. 1. are the actual costs incurred by a public safety answering point in complying with the requirements of enhanced 911 service, including costs incurred for designing, upgrading, purchasing, leasing, programming, installing, testing, or maintaining all necessary data, hardware, and software required to provide enhanced 911 service; the recurring and nonrecurring costs of providing enhanced 911 service; and the costs associated with training public safety answering point personnel.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,181,2 (d) Payment of grants. From the appropriation account under s. 20.155 (3) (r), the commission shall award grants to communications providers and local governments who submit applications under pars. (b) and (c) for reimbursement of costs that the commission determines are eligible for reimbursement. If the total amount of invoices for cost reimbursement that are submitted to the commission and approved for payment in a month exceeds the amount available from the 911 fund for reimbursement, the commission shall proportionately reduce the amount payable to each communications provider and local government so that the amount paid in grants does not exceed the amount available from the 911 fund, and the commission shall defer awarding grants for the balance due to each communications provider and local government until sufficient moneys are available from the 911 fund.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,181,7 (e) Information requests; audits. A local government that receives grants for a public safety answering point shall comply with all requests by the commission for financial information related to the operation of the public safety answering point and, upon request, provide a copy of any audits conducted of the public safety answering point to the commission.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,181,13 (f) Telephone relay service for hearing impaired. A local government that receives a grant under par. (d) shall ensure the each public safety answering point operated by or on behalf of the local government complies with requirements of the federal communications commission that all 911 answering positions are equipped with the necessary equipment for accepting 911 calls from the hearing impaired directly or through the use of a relaying service.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,181,19 (g) Audits. The commission may require a communications provider or local government that receives a grant under par. (d) to conduct an audit to ensure that the grant application and use of the moneys received is consistent with the requirements of this subsection and may require a local government that receives a grant under par. (d) to provide a copy of its annual audit of the public safety answering point for which the grant is received.

AB75-SSA1-CA1,182,5 (h) Unauthorized expenditures. The commission may, on its own motion, or, at its discretion, upon the complaint of any person, give written notice of violation to any communications provider or local government alleged to be expending grant moneys for a purpose not authorized under this subsection. Upon receipt of the notice, the communications provider or local government shall cease making any unauthorized expenditure, and may petition the commission for a hearing on the question of whether an expenditure is authorized. The commission shall grant a request for a hearing within a reasonable period.

General information collected by the commission or the 911 council may be released or published only in aggregate amounts that do not identify or allow identification of numbers of subscribers or revenues attributable to an individual communications provider.
