An Act relative to a surcharge on the 988 system

This bill imposes a $0.75 monthly surcharge on subscribers of communication services (including landline, wireless, and internet-based phone services) that support the 988 crisis hotline system. The surcharge must appear on customer bills as "988 Service Surcharge" and is applied based on service type (e.g., per line for landlines, per number for wireless). Collected funds are deposited into the Enhanced 988 Fund to cover operational costs like staff, training, public education, and system maintenance. The bill also establishes procedures for adjusting the surcharge and requires annual reporting on fund usage.
