273    Department of Management Services, for certified public
274    accounting firms, or the board may hire and retain professional
275    accounting staff to accomplish these functions.
276          (9) MANAGEMENT OF FUNDS.--
277          (a) Each provider, as a part of its monthly billing
278    process, shall collect the fee imposed under subsection (8). The
279    provider may list the fee as a separate entry on each bill, in
280    which case the fee must be identified as a fee for E911
281    services. A provider shall remit the fee only if the fee is paid
282    by the subscriber. If a provider receives a partial payment for
283    a monthly bill from a subscriber, the amount received shall
284    first be applied to the payment due the provider for the
285    provision of telecommunications service.
286          (b) In the case of prepaid wireless telephone service, the
287    monthly wireless 911 surcharge imposed by subsection (8) shall
288    be remitted based upon each prepaid wireless telephone
289    associated with this state, for each wireless service customer
290    that has a sufficient positive balance as of the last day of
291    each month. The surcharge shall be remitted in any manner
292    consistent with the wireless provider's existing operating or
293    technological abilities, such as customer address, location
294    associated with the MTN, or reasonable allocation method based
295    upon other comparable relevant data. The surcharge amount or an
296    equivalent number of minutes may be reduced from the prepaid
297    subscriber's account since a direct billing may not be possible.
298    However, collection of the wireless 911 surcharge in the manner
299    of a reduction of value or minutes from the prepaid subscriber's
300    account does not constitute a reduction in the sales price for
301    purposes of taxes that are collected at the point of sale.
302          (c)(b)A provider is not obligated to take any legal
303    action to enforce collection of the fees for which any
304    subscriber is billed. The provider shall provide to the board
305    each quarter a list of the names, addresses, and service numbers
306    of all subscribers who have indicated to the provider their
307    refusal to pay the fee.
308          (d)(c)Each provider may retain 1 percent of the amount of
309    the fees collected as reimbursement for the administrative costs
310    incurred by the provider to bill, collect, and remit the fee.
311    The remainder shall be delivered to the board and deposited in
312    the fund. The board shall distribute the remainder pursuant to
313    s. 365.173.
314          (e)(d)Each provider shall deliver revenues from the fee
315    to the board within 60 days after the end of the month in which
316    the fee was billed, together with a monthly report of the number
317    of wireless customers whose place of primary use is in each
318    county. A provider may apply to the board for a refund of, or
319    may take a credit for, any fees remitted to the board which are
320    not collected by the provider within 6 months following the
321    month in which the fees are charged off for federal income tax
322    purposes as bad debt. The board may waive the requirement that
323    the fees and number of customers whose place of primary use is
324    in each county be submitted to the board each month and
325    authorize a provider to submit the fees and number of customers
326    quarterly if the provider demonstrates that such waiver is
327    necessary and justified.
328          (f)(e)For purposes of this section, the definitions
329    contained in s. 202.11 and the provisions of s. 202.155 apply in
330    the same manner and to the same extent as such definitions and
331    provisions apply to the taxes levied pursuant to chapter 202 on
332    mobile communications services.
333          (g)(f)As used in this subsection, the term "provider"
334    includes any person or entity that resells wireless service and
335    was not assessed the fee by its resale supplier.
336          (11) FACILITATING E911 SERVICE
337    IMPLEMENTATION.--Notwithstanding any other law or local
338    ordinance to the contrary:
339          (a) Colocation among wireless telephone service providers
340    is encouraged by the state. To further facilitate agreements
341    among providers for colocation of their facilities, any antennae
342    and related equipment to service the antennae that is being
343    colocated on an existing above-ground structure is not subject
344    to land development regulation pursuant to s. 163.3202, provided
345    the height of the existing structure is not increased. However,
346    construction of the antennae and related equipment is subject to
347    local building regulations and any existing permits or
348    agreements for such property, buildings, or structures. Nothing
349    herein shall relieve the permitholder for or owner of the
350    existing structure of compliance with any applicable condition
351    or requirement of a permit, agreement, or land development
352    regulation, including any aesthetic requirements, or law.
353          (b) Local governments shall not require providers to
354    provide evidence of a wireless communications facility's
355    compliance with federal regulations. However, local governments
356    shall receive evidence of proper federal licensure from a
357    provider and a provider shall certify compliance with federal
358    regulations concerning radio frequency emissions, upon request.
359          (c)1. A local government shall approve or deny a properly
360    completed application for a permit, including permits under
361    paragraph (a), for the colocation of a wireless communications
362    facility on property, buildings, or structures within the local
363    government's jurisdiction within 45 business days after the date
364    the properly completed application is initially submitted in
365    accordance with the applicable local government application
366    procedures, provided that such permit complies with applicable
367    federal regulations and applicable local zoning or land
368    development regulations, including any aesthetic requirements.
369    Local building regulations shall apply.
370          2. A local government shall approve or deny a properly
371    completed application for a permit for the siting of a new
372    wireless tower or antenna on property, buildings, or structures
373    within the local government's jurisdiction within 90 business
374    days after the date the properly completed application is
375    initially submitted in accordance with the applicable local
376    government application procedures, provided that such permit
377    complies with applicable federal regulations and applicable
378    local zoning or land development regulations, including any
379    aesthetic requirements. Local building regulations shall apply.
380          3.a. The local government shall notify the permit
381    applicant within 15 business days after the date the application
382    for colocation is submitted or within 30 business days after the
383    date the application for a new wireless tower or antenna is
384    submitted as to whether the application is, for administrative
385    purposes only, properly completed and has been properly
386    submitted. However, such determination shall not be deemed as an
387    approval of the application. Such notification shall indicate
388    with specificity any deficiencies which, if cured, shall make
389    the application properly completed.
390          b. If the local government fails to approve or deny a
391    properly completed application for a permit which has been
392    properly submitted within the timeframes set forth in this
393    paragraph, the permit shall be deemed automatically approved and
394    the provider may proceed with placement of such facilities
395    without interference or penalty. The timeframes specified in
396    subparagraphs 1. and 2. shall be extended only to the extent
397    that the permit has not been granted or denied because the local
398    government's procedures require action by the governing body and
399    such action has not taken place within the timeframes specified
400    in subparagraphs 1. and 2. Under such circumstances, the local
401    government must act to either grant or deny the permit at its
402    next regularly scheduled meeting or, otherwise, the permit shall
403    be deemed to be automatically approved.
404          c. To be effective, a waiver of the timeframes set forth
405    herein must be voluntarily agreed to by the applicant and the
406    local government. A local government may request, but not
407    require, a waiver of the timeframes by an entity seeking a
408    permit, except that, with respect to a specific permit, a one-
409    time waiver may be required in the case of a declared local,
410    state, or federal emergency that directly affects the
411    administration of all permitting activities of the local
412    government.
413          (d) Any additional wireless communications facilities,
414    such as cables, adjacent accessory structures, or adjacent
415    accessory equipment used in the provision of cellular, enhanced
416    specialized mobile radio, or personal communications services,
417    required within the existing secured equipment compound within
418    the existing site needed to comply with the federal Phase II
419    E911 requirements shall be deemed a permitted use or activity.
420    Local building and land development regulations, including any
421    aesthetic requirements, shall apply.
422          (e) Any other provision of law to the contrary
423    notwithstanding, the Department of Management Services shall
424    negotiate, in the name of the state, leases for wireless
425    communications facilities that provide access to state-owned
426    property not acquired for transportation purposes, and the
427    Department of Transportation shall negotiate, in the name of the
428    state, leases for wireless communications facilities that
429    provide access to property acquired for state rights-of-way. On
430    property acquired for transportation purposes, leases shall be
431    granted in accordance with s. 337.251. On other state-owned
432    property, leases shall be granted on a space available, first-
433    come, first-served basis. Payments required by the state under a
434    lease or permit must be reasonable and must reflect the market
435    rate for the use of the state-owned property. The Department of
436    Management Services and the Department of Transportation are
437    authorized to adopt rules for the terms and conditions and
438    granting of any such leases or permits.
439          (f) Any wireless telephone service provider may report to
440    the board no later than September 1, 2003, the specific
441    locations or general areas within a county or municipality where
442    the provider has experienced unreasonable delay to locate
443    wireless communications facilities necessary to provide the
444    needed coverage for compliance with federal Phase II E911
445    requirements using its own network. The provider shall also
446    provide this information to the specifically identified county
447    or municipality no later than September 1, 2003. Unless the
448    board receives no report that unreasonable delays have occurred,
449    the board shall, no later than September 30, 2003, establish a
450    subcommittee responsible for developing a balanced approach
451    between the ability of providers to locate wireless facilities
452    necessary to comply with federal Phase II E911 requirements
453    using the carrier's own network and the desire of counties and
454    municipalities to zone and regulate land uses to achieve public
455    welfare goals. If a subcommittee is established, it shall
456    include representatives from the Florida Telecommunications
457    Industry Association, the Florida Association of Counties, and
458    the Florida League of Cities. The subcommittee shall be charged
459    with developing recommendations for the board and any
460    specifically identified municipality or county to consider
461    regarding actions to be taken for compliance for federal Phase
462    II E911 requirements. In the annual report due to the Governor
463    and the Legislature by February 28, 2004, the board shall
464    include any recommendations developed by the subcommittee to
465    address compliance with federal Phase II E911 requirements.
466          Section 2. Paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section
467    365.173, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
468          365.173 Wireless Emergency Telephone System Fund.--
469          (2) Subject to any modifications approved by the board
470    pursuant to s. 365.172(8)(c), the moneys in the fund shall be
471    distributed and used only as follows:
472          (b) Fifty-four percent of the moneys shall be distributed
473    in response to sworn invoices submitted to the board by
474    providers to reimburse such providers for the actual costs
475    incurred to provide 911 or E911 service, including the costs of
476    complying with the order. Such costs include costs and expenses
477    incurred by providers to design, purchase, lease, program,
478    install, test, upgrade, operate, and maintain all necessary
479    data, hardware, and software required to provide E911 service.
480    Up to 2 percent of the funds allocated to providers shall be
481    retained by the board to be applied to costs and expenses
482    incurred for the purposes of managing, administering, and
483    overseeing the receipts and disbursements from the fund and
484    other activities as defined in s. 365.172(6). Any funds retained
485    for such purposes in a calendar year which are not applied to
486    such costs and expenses by March 31 of the following year shall
487    be distributed to providers pursuant to this paragraph.
488    Beginning in state fiscal year 2000-2001, each provider shall
489    submit to the board, by August 1 of each year, a detailed
490    estimate of the capital and operating expenses for which it
491    anticipates that it will seek reimbursement under this paragraph
492    during the ensuing state fiscal year. By September 15 of each
493    year, the board shall submit to the Legislature its legislative
494    budget request for funds to be allocated to providers under this
495    paragraph during the ensuing state fiscal year. The budget
496    request shall be based on the information submitted by the
497    providers and estimated surcharge revenues. Distributions of
498    moneys in the fund by the board to providers must be fair and
499    nondiscriminatory. If the total amount of moneys requested by
500    providers pursuant to invoices submitted to the board and
501    approved for payment exceeds the amount in the fund in any
502    month, providers that have invoices approved for payment shall
503    receive a pro rata share of moneys in the fund and the balance
504    of the payments shall be carried over to the following month or
505    months until all of the approved payments are made. The board
506    may adopt rules necessary to address the manner in which pro
507    rata distributions are made when the total amount of funds
508    requested by providers pursuant to invoices submitted to the
509    board exceeds the total amount of moneys on deposit in the fund.
510         
511          The Legislature recognizes that the wireless E911 fee authorized
512    under s. 365.172 will not necessarily provide the total funding
513    required for establishing or providing the 911 service. It is
514    the intent of the Legislature that all revenue from the fee be
515    used as specified in s. 365.171(13)(a)6.
516          Section 3. Section 365.175, Florida Statutes, is created
517    to read:
518          365.175 Emergency Telephone Number 911 Private Branch
519    Exchange-Private Switch Automatic Location Identification.--
520          (1) DEFINITIONS.--As used in this section, the term:

524    telephone, and supplementary emergency services information.
525          (b) "Automatic location identification retrieval" or "ALI
526    retrieval" means the process of querying the 9-1-1 database for
