BILL NUMBER:S5809 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the county law, in relation to wireless surcharges in Monroe county PURPOSE: This bill would authorize Monroe County to establish a wireless surcharge for the purpose of providing and expanding vital emergency services within the county. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one of the bill amends the county law by adding a new section 308-y to allow Monroe county to adopt, amend or repeal local laws through its local county legislative body to impose a wireless surcharge for the purpose of providing E-911 emergency services, in an amount not to exceed thirty cents per month on wireless communications service in the county. Paragraph 2 relates to providing written notice forty-five days prior to the imposition of the surcharge. Paragraph 3 relates to the wireless communication service supplier obligations.
Paragraph 4 relates to how the surcharge monies are to be expended and excess reserves shall be carried over to the next fiscal year. Section 2 of the bill amends subdivision 16 of section 325 of the county law to expand the definition of "eligible wireless 911 service costs" to include operation costs, Section 3 is the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: This bill would authorize Monroe County to implement a wireless surcharge not to exceed thirty cents per month. This legislation would assist the county in paying for costs associated with the operation, maintenance and administration of the local 911 system. Revenues generated by the wireless surcharge will help defray local costs imposed on providing emergency 911 wireless services throughout the county. The county will utilize the revenue derived from this authority to enhance services in order to prepare for the increased and varied methods of receiving emergency calls and enable the county to better serve every person that is in need of this important service. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None. LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Additional revenue to the county. EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediate with provisions.

S 2. Subdivision 16 of section 325 of the county law, as added by section 1 of part G of chapter 81 of the laws of 2002, is amended to read as follows: 16. "Eligible wireless 911 service costs" shall mean costs eligible for reimbursement and shall include the actual costs incurred by the locality related to the design, installation, OPERATION, or maintenance of a system to provide enhanced wireless 911 service, including, but not limited to, hardware, software, consultants, financing and other acqui- sition costs.
