A 1870 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Reduces 9-1-1 fee on customers' periodic telephone bills from $0.90 to $0.22.

This bill reduces New Jersey's 9-1-1 fee on telephone bills from $0.90 to $0.22 per line or service. It directly affects all residential and business telephone customers paying periodic bills for mobile or landline service, excluding government entities, school districts, and Lifeline program participants. The key provision lowers the fee amount while directing collected funds into the 9-1-1 System and Emergency Response Trust Fund. This change is projected to save customers approximately $30 million annually while maintaining funding for the state's emergency response system.
