1 1 Section 1. Section 34A.7, subsection 2, Code 2001, is
1 2 amended to read as follows:
1 3 2. SURCHARGE COLLECTED BY PROVIDERS. The surcharge shall
1 4 be collected as part of the access line service provider's
1 5 periodic billing to a subscriber. In compensation for the
1 6 costs of billing and collection, the provider may retain one
1 7 percent of the gross surcharges collected. If the
1 8 compensation is insufficient to fully recover a provider's
1 9 costs for billing and collection of the surcharge, the
1 10 deficiency shall be included in the provider's costs for
1 11 ratemaking purposes to the extent it is reasonable and just
1 12 under section 476.6. The surcharge shall be remitted to the
1 13 E911 service operating authority for deposit into the E911
1 14 service fund quarterly by the provider. The surcharges may be
1 15 combined and remitted together by the provider so long as the
1 16 remitted surcharges are accompanied by a report which contains
1 17 the following information:
1 18 a. Exchange from which each surcharge was collected.
1 19 b. Number of lines to which the surcharge was applied that
1 20 quarter.
1 21 c. Number of refusals to pay the surcharge in each
1 22 exchange.
1 23 d. Number of write-offs applied in each exchange.
1 24 e. Number of exempt federal facilities in each exchange.
1 25 f. Amount of the one percent administration fee for
1 26 billing and collection costs retained by the provider.
1 27 PARAGRAPH DIVIDED. A provider is not liable for an
1 28 uncollected surcharge for which the provider has billed a
1 29 subscriber but not been paid. The surcharge shall appear as a
1 30 single line item on a subscriber's periodic billing entitled,
1 31 "E911 emergency telephone service surcharge". The E911
1 32 service surcharge is not subject to sales or use tax.
