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

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

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).

26 to the telephone company prior to the collection of any "911"
27 fees.

29 system or that is actively pursuing the implementation of a
30 "911" system shall establish a fund to be used exclusively for

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

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

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

14 equivalent staff assistant position per county for the portion
15 of their time spent administrating the "911" system; training
16 costs for PSAP call takers in the proper methods and

11 by counties of the "911" fees authorized by this section
12 should support this goal to the greatest extent feasible
