The bill repeals existing provisions of the Broadband Deployment and Investment Act, including the section addressing unaffected fees.

  • R.I. Gen. Laws § 39-28-4

    39-28-4. Unaffected fees. Nothing in this act shall be construed to affect, mandate, or prohibit the assessment of nondiscriminatory enhanced 911 fees, telecommunications relay service fees, or the telecommunications education access fund surcharge under § 39-1-61.
