1239     (a)  Following approval by referendum as set forth in
1240paragraph (b), or following approval by a majority vote of its
1241board of county commissioners, a county may impose a "911" fee
1242to be paid by the local exchange subscribers within its
1243boundaries served by the "911" service. Proceeds from the "911"
1244fee shall be used only for "911" expenditures as set forth in
1245subparagraph 6. The manner of imposing and collecting said
1246payment shall be as follows:
1247     1.  At the request of the county subscribing to "911"
1248service, the telephone company shall, insofar as is practicable,
1249bill the "911" fee to the local exchange subscribers served by
1250the "911" service, on an individual access line basis, at a rate
1251not to exceed 50 cents per month per line (up to a maximum of 25
1252access lines per account bill rendered). However, the fee may
1253not be assessed on any pay telephone in this state. A county
1254collecting the fee for the first time may collect the fee for no
1255longer than 36 months without initiating the acquisition of its
1256"911" equipment.
1257     2.  Fees collected by the telephone company pursuant to
1258subparagraph 1. shall be returned to the county, less the costs
1259of administration retained pursuant to paragraph (c). The county
1260shall provide a minimum of 90 days' written notice to the
1261telephone company prior to the collection of any "911" fees.
1262     3.  Any county that currently has an operational "911"
1263system or that is actively pursuing the implementation of a
1264"911" system shall establish a fund to be used exclusively for
1265receipt and expenditure of "911" fee revenues collected pursuant
1266to this section. All fees placed in said fund, and any interest
1267accrued thereupon, shall be used solely for "911" costs
1268described in subparagraph 6. The money collected and interest
1269earned in this fund shall be appropriated for "911" purposes by
1270the county commissioners and incorporated into the annual county
1271budget. Such fund shall be included within the financial audit
1272performed in accordance with s. 218.39. A report of the audit
1273shall be forwarded to the department office within 60 days of
1274its completion. A county may carry forward on an annual basis
1275unspent moneys in the fund for expenditures allowed by this
1276section, or it may reduce its fee. However, in no event shall a
1277county carry forward more than 10 percent of the "911" fee
1278billed for the prior year. The amount of moneys carried forward
1279each year may be accumulated in order to allow for capital
1280improvements described in this subsection. The carryover shall
1281be documented by resolution of the board of county commissioners
1282expressing the purpose of the carryover or by an adopted capital
1283improvement program identifying projected expansion or
1284replacement expenditures for "911" equipment and service
1285features, or both. In no event shall the "911" fee carryover
1286surplus moneys be used for any purpose other than for the "911"
1287equipment, service features, and installation charges authorized
1288in subparagraph 6. Nothing in this section shall prohibit a
1289county from using other sources of revenue for improvements,
1290replacements, or expansions of its "911" system. A county may
1291increase its fee for purposes authorized in this section.
1292However, in no case shall the fee exceed 50 cents per month per
1293line. All current "911" fees shall be reported to the department
1294office within 30 days of the start of each county's fiscal
1295period. Any fee adjustment made by a county shall be reported to
1296the department office. A county shall give the telephone company
1297a 90-day written notice of such fee adjustment.
1298     4.  The telephone company shall have no obligation to take
1299any legal action to enforce collection of the "911" fee. The
1300telephone company shall provide quarterly to the county a list
1301of the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of any and all
1302subscribers who have identified to the telephone company their
1303refusal to pay the "911" fee.
1304     5.  The county subscribing to "911" service shall remain
1305liable to the telephone company for any "911" service,
1306equipment, operation, or maintenance charge owed by the county
1307to the telephone company.
1308
1309As used in this paragraph, "telephone company" means an exchange
1310telephone service provider of "911" service or equipment to any
1311county within its certificated area.
1312     6.  It is the intent of the Legislature that the "911" fee
1313authorized by this section to be imposed by counties will not
1314necessarily provide the total funding required for establishing
1315or providing the "911" service. For purposes of this section,
1316"911" service includes the functions of database management,
1317call taking, location verification, and call transfer. The
1318following costs directly attributable to the establishment
1319and/or provision of "911" service are eligible for expenditure
1320of moneys derived from imposition of the "911" fee authorized by
1321this section: the acquisition, implementation, and maintenance
1322of Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) equipment and "911"
1323service features, as defined in the Florida Public Service
1324Commission's lawfully approved "911" and related tariffs and/or
1325the acquisition, installation, and maintenance of other "911"
1326equipment, including call answering equipment, call transfer
1327equipment, ANI controllers, ALI controllers, ANI displays, ALI
1328displays, station instruments, "911" telecommunications systems,
1329teleprinters, logging recorders, instant playback recorders,
1330telephone devices for the deaf (TDD) used in the "911" system,
1331PSAP backup power systems, consoles, automatic call
1332distributors, and interfaces (hardware and software) for
1333computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems; salary and associated
1334expenses for "911" call takers for that portion of their time
1335spent taking and transferring "911" calls; salary and associated
1336expenses for a county to employ a full-time equivalent "911"
1337coordinator position and a full-time equivalent staff assistant
1338position per county for the portion of their time spent
1339administrating the "911" system; training costs for PSAP call
1340takers in the proper methods and techniques used in taking and
1341transferring "911" calls; expenses required to develop and
1342maintain all information (ALI and ANI databases and other
1343information source repositories) necessary to properly inform
1344call takers as to location address, type of emergency, and other
1345information directly relevant to the "911" call-taking and
1346transferring function; and, in a county defined in s.
1347125.011(1), such expenses related to a nonemergency "311"
1348system, or similar nonemergency system, which improves the
1349overall efficiency of an existing "911" system or reduces "911"
1350emergency response time for a 2-year pilot project that ends
1351June 30, 2003. However, no wireless telephone service provider
1352shall be required to participate in this pilot project or to
1353otherwise implement a nonemergency "311" system or similar
1354nonemergency system. The "911" fee revenues shall not be used to
1355pay for any item not listed, including, but not limited to, any
1356capital or operational costs for emergency responses which occur
1357after the call transfer to the responding public safety entity
1358and the costs for constructing buildings, leasing buildings,
1359maintaining buildings, or renovating buildings, except for those
1360building modifications necessary to maintain the security and
1361environmental integrity of the PSAP and "911" equipment rooms.
1362     7.  It is the goal of the Legislature that enhanced "911"
1363service be available throughout the state. Expenditure by
1364counties of the "911" fees authorized by this section should
1365support this goal to the greatest extent feasible within the
1366context of local service needs and fiscal capability. Nothing in
1367this section shall be construed to prohibit two or more counties
1368from establishing a combined emergency "911" telephone service
1369by interlocal agreement and utilizing the "911" fees authorized
1370by this section for such combined "911" service.
1371
1372As used in this paragraph, "telephone company" means an exchange
1373telephone service provider of "911" service or equipment to any
1374county within its certificated area.
