repeal the expiration date for the 911 emergency surcharge increase.

SB 19 removes the expiration date for a surcharge on 911 emergency calls in South Dakota. This change directly affects the state's telecommunications providers and the public who use emergency services. Previously, the surcharge increase was set to expire after a specific time period, but this bill makes the increase permanent. The bill does not alter the amount of the surcharge, only its duration, ensuring the revenue continues to fund emergency services without requiring renewal.
