911 telecommunications fees.
SB 273 increases two existing 911-related fees for telecommunications customers. It doubles the prepaid wireless charge from $1 to $2 per line and raises the monthly statewide 911 fee from $1 to $2 for all service providers. These changes directly affect wireless customers and all telecommunications users in the state. The bill, introduced by Senator Spencer on January 8, 2026, has been referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Transportation. It represents a straightforward policy change to fund 911 services without altering service requirements.
