 1  implementation of a statewide emergency telephone number "911"

 2  system.

 3         (13)  "911" FEE.--

 4         (a)  Following approval by referendum as set forth in

 5  paragraph (b), or following approval by a majority vote of its

 6  board of county commissioners, a county may impose a "911" fee

 7  to be paid by the local exchange subscribers within its

 8  boundaries served by the "911" service. Proceeds from the

 9  "911" fee shall be used only for "911" expenditures as set

10  forth in subparagraph 6. The manner of imposing and collecting

11  said payment shall be as follows:

12         1.  At the request of the county subscribing to "911"

13  service, the telephone company shall, insofar as is

14  practicable, bill the "911" fee to the local exchange

15  subscribers served by the "911" service, on an individual

16  access line basis, at a rate not to exceed 50 cents per month

17  per line (up to a maximum of 25 access lines per account bill

18  rendered). However, the fee may not be assessed on any pay

19  telephone in this state. A county collecting the fee for the

20  first time may collect the fee for no longer than 36 months

21  without initiating the acquisition of its "911" equipment.

22         2.  Fees collected by the telephone company pursuant to

23  subparagraph 1. shall be returned to the county, less the

24  costs of administration retained pursuant to paragraph (c).

25  The county shall provide a minimum of 90 days' written notice

26  to the telephone company prior to the collection of any "911"

27  fees.

28         3.  Any county that currently has an operational "911"

29  system or that is actively pursuing the implementation of a

30  "911" system shall establish a fund to be used exclusively for

31  receipt and expenditure of "911" fee revenues collected

 1  pursuant to this section. All fees placed in said fund, and

 2  any interest accrued thereupon, shall be used solely for "911"

 3  costs described in subparagraph 6. The money collected and

 4  interest earned in this fund shall be appropriated for "911"

 5  purposes by the county commissioners and incorporated into the

 6  annual county budget. Such fund shall be included within the

 7  financial audit performed in accordance with s. 218.39. A

 8  report of the audit shall be forwarded to the department

 9  office within 60 days of its completion. A county may carry

10  forward on an annual basis unspent moneys in the fund for

11  expenditures allowed by this section, or it may reduce its

12  fee. However, in no event shall a county carry forward more

13  than 10 percent of the "911" fee billed for the prior year.

14  The amount of moneys carried forward each year may be

15  accumulated in order to allow for capital improvements

16  described in this subsection. The carryover shall be

17  documented by resolution of the board of county commissioners

18  expressing the purpose of the carryover or by an adopted

19  capital improvement program identifying projected expansion or

20  replacement expenditures for "911" equipment and service

21  features, or both. In no event shall the "911" fee carryover

22  surplus moneys be used for any purpose other than for the

23  "911" equipment, service features, and installation charges

24  authorized in subparagraph 6. Nothing in this section shall

25  prohibit a county from using other sources of revenue for

26  improvements, replacements, or expansions of its "911" system.

27  A county may increase its fee for purposes authorized in this

28  section. However, in no case shall the fee exceed 50 cents per

29  month per line. All current "911" fees shall be reported to

30  the department office within 30 days of the start of each

31  county's fiscal period. Any fee adjustment made by a county

 1  shall be reported to the department office. A county shall

 2  give the telephone company a 90-day written notice of such fee

 3  adjustment.

 4         4.  The telephone company shall have no obligation to

 5  take any legal action to enforce collection of the "911" fee.

 6  The telephone company shall provide quarterly to the county a

 7  list of the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of any and

 8  all subscribers who have identified to the telephone company

 9  their refusal to pay the "911" fee.

10         5.  The county subscribing to "911" service shall

11  remain liable to the telephone company for any "911" service,

12  equipment, operation, or maintenance charge owed by the county

13  to the telephone company.

14  

15  As used in this paragraph, "telephone company" means an

16  exchange telephone service provider of "911" service or

17  equipment to any county within its certificated area.

18         6.  It is the intent of the Legislature that the "911"

19  fee authorized by this section to be imposed by counties will

20  not necessarily provide the total funding required for

21  establishing or providing the "911" service. For purposes of

22  this section, "911" service includes the functions of database

23  management, call taking, location verification, and call

24  transfer. The following costs directly attributable to the

25  establishment and/or provision of "911" service are eligible

26  for expenditure of moneys derived from imposition of the "911"

27  fee authorized by this section: the acquisition,

28  implementation, and maintenance of Public Safety Answering

29  Point (PSAP) equipment and "911" service features, as defined
