An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in 911 emergency communication services, further providing for uniform 911 surcharge; and making a repeal.

SB 1078 would standardize the 911 emergency service surcharge across Pennsylvania by replacing inconsistent local rates with a single statewide fee. It directly affects local governments and emergency services that collect these surcharges from phone and utility customers. The bill repeals outdated provisions in the current law that allowed varying surcharge amounts, ensuring all communities use the same rate for 911 funding. This change aims to simplify billing and ensure consistent revenue for emergency communications systems statewide. The bill was laid on the table in November 2025, meaning it did not advance further in the legislative process.
