PAG LIN 1 1 Section 1. Section 34A.6A, Code 1995, is amended to read 1 2 as follows: 1 3 34A.6A ALTERNATIVE SURCHARGE. 1 4 1. Notwithstanding section 34A.6, the board may request 1 5 imposition of a surcharge in an amount up to two dollars and 1 6 fifty cents per month on each telephone access line. The 1 7 board shall submit the question of the surcharge to voters in 1 8 the same manner as provided in section 34A.6. If approved, 1 9 the surcharge may be collected for a period of no more than 1 10 twenty-four months unless the period is extended as provided 1 11 in subsection 2. At the end of the twenty-four-month period, 1 12 the rate of the surcharge shall revert to one dollar per 1 13 month, per access line. 1 14 2. Notwithstanding the twenty-four-month limitation 1 15 imposed by the voters in subsection 1, at the end of the 1 16 initial period during which a surcharge of two dollars and 1 17 fifty cents per month per access line is imposed, the board, 1 18 upon a determination that insufficient funds are available to 1 19 the board to implement the E911 service plan, may extend the 1 20 period during which the two dollar and fifty cent surcharge is 1 21 to be imposed by a period of no more that twelve additional 1 22 months. The board shall only extend such period after 1 23 conducting a public hearing to allow for public comment on 1 24 such action. 1 25 EXPLANATION 1 26 This bill provides for the extension of the alternative 1 27 surcharge of $2.50 per month per access line for a period of 1 28 up to 12 months beyond the initial period during which such 1 29 surcharge was imposed. The extension can only occur after the 1 30 E911 board conducts a public hearing to allow for public 1 31 comment on the extension. Currently, the board may impose a 1 32 surcharge of $1 per month per access line, with the ability to 1 33 impose the alternative surcharge of $2.50 per month per access 1 34 line for a period of up to 24 months after approval by 1 35 referendum in the proposed E911 service area. 2 1 LSB 3899HH 76 2 2 mj/sc/14
