Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill SB 837 includes changes to Sections 15.3 and 15.4 related to the imposition of surcharges on telecommunications services in municipalities and counties. Notably, it clarifies how these surcharges can be assessed, particularly in cases where multiple communication channels are used, requiring municipalities to assess the surcharge multiple times for certain services. Additionally, it modifies the requirements for establishing an Emergency Telephone System Board by outlining the structure and membership expectations more clearly. These changes are important as they aim to streamline the process for funding emergency communication services while ensuring that local authorities can tailor funding mechanisms to their needs.

(50 ILCS 750/15.3) (from Ch.
45.3) Sec.
15.3.
Surcharge.
(a) The corporate authorities of any municipality or any county may, subject to the limitations of subsections (c), (d), and (h), and in addition to any tax levied pursuant to the Simplified Municipal Telecommunications Tax Act, impose a monthly surcharge on billed subscribers of network connection provided by telecommunication carriers engaged in the business of transmitting messages by means of electricity originating within the corporate limits of the municipality or county imposing the surcharge at a rate per network connection determined in accordance with subsection (c).
Provided, however, that where multiple voice grade communications channels are connected between the subscriber’s premises and a public switched network through private branch exchange (PBX) or centrex type service, a municipality imposing a surcharge at a rate per network connection, as determined in accordance with this Act, shall impose 5 such surcharges per network SB0837 Enrolled - 2 - LRB095 05548 HLH 25638 b connection, as determined in accordance with subsections (a) and (d) of Section 2.12 of this Act.
For mobile telecommunications services, if a surcharge is imposed it shall be imposed based upon the municipality or county that encompasses the customer’s place of primary use as defined in the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Conformity Act.
A municipality may enter into an intergovernmental agreement with any county in which it is partially located, when the county has adopted an ordinance to impose a surcharge as provided in subsection (c), to include that portion of the municipality lying outside the county in that county’s surcharge referendum.
If the county’s surcharge referendum is approved, the portion of the municipality identified in the intergovernmental agreement shall automatically be disconnected from the county in which it lies and connected to the county which approved the referendum for purposes of a surcharge on telecommunications carriers.
(b) For purposes of computing the surcharge imposed by subsection (a), the network connections to which the surcharge shall apply shall be those in-service network connections, other than those network connections assigned to the municipality or county, where the service address for each such network connection or connections is located within the corporate limits of the municipality or county levying the surcharge.
Except for mobile telecommunication services, the "service address" shall mean the location of the primary use of SB0837 Enrolled - 3 - LRB095 05548 HLH 25638 b the network connection or connections.
For mobile telecommunication services, "service address" means the customer’s place of primary use as defined in the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Conformity Act.
With respect to network connections provided for use with pay telephone services for which there is no billed subscriber, the telecommunications carrier providing the network connection shall be deemed to be its own billed subscriber for purposes of applying the surcharge.
(c) Upon the passage of an ordinance to impose a surcharge under this Section the clerk of the municipality or county shall certify the question of whether the surcharge may be imposed to the proper election authority who shall submit the public question to the electors of the municipality or county in accordance with the general election law;
provided that such question shall not be submitted at a consolidated primary election.
The public question shall be in substantially the following form:
------------------------------------------------------------ Shall the county (or city, village or incorporated town) of ..... impose          YES a surcharge of up to ...¢ per month per network connection, which surcharge will be added to the monthly bill you receive   ------------------ for telephone or telecommunications charges, for the purpose of installing SB0837 Enrolled - 4 - LRB095 05548 HLH 25638 b (or improving) a 9-1-1 Emergency               NO Telephone System? ------------------------------------------------------------ If a majority of the votes cast upon the public question are in favor thereof, the surcharge shall be imposed.
However, if a Joint Emergency Telephone System Board is to be created pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement under Section 15.4, the ordinance to impose the surcharge shall be subject to the approval of a majority of the total number of votes cast upon the public question by the electors of all of the municipalities or counties, or combination thereof, that are parties to the intergovernmental agreement.
The referendum requirement of this subsection (c) shall not apply to any municipality with a population over 500,000 or to any county in which a proposition as to whether a sophisticated 9-1-1 Emergency Telephone System should be installed in the county, at a cost not to exceed a specified monthly amount per network connection, has previously been approved by a majority of the electors of the county voting on the proposition at an election conducted before the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1987.
(d) A county may not impose a surcharge, unless requested by a municipality, in any incorporated area which has previously approved a surcharge as provided in subsection (c) or in any incorporated area where the corporate authorities of the municipality have previously entered into a binding SB0837 Enrolled - 5 - LRB095 05548 HLH 25638 b contract or letter of intent with a telecommunications carrier to provide sophisticated 9-1-1 service through municipal funds.
(e) A municipality or county may at any time by ordinance change the rate of the surcharge imposed under this Section if the new rate does not exceed the rate specified in the referendum held pursuant to subsection (c).
(f) The surcharge authorized by this Section shall be collected from the subscriber by the telecommunications carrier providing the subscriber the network connection as a separately stated item on the subscriber’s bill.
(g) The amount of surcharge collected by the telecommunications carrier shall be paid to the particular municipality or county or Joint Emergency Telephone System Board not later than 30 days after the surcharge is collected, net of any network or other 9-1-1 or sophisticated 9-1-1 system charges then due the particular telecommunications carrier, as shown on an itemized bill.
The telecommunications carrier collecting the surcharge shall also be entitled to deduct 3% of the gross amount of surcharge collected to reimburse the telecommunications carrier for the expense of accounting and collecting the surcharge.
(h) Except as expressly provided in subsection (a) of this Section, a municipality with a population over 500,000 may not impose a monthly surcharge in excess of $2.50 $1.25 per network connection.
SB0837 Enrolled - 6 - LRB095 05548 HLH 25638 b (i) Any municipality or county or joint emergency telephone system board that has imposed a surcharge pursuant to this Section prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1990 shall hereafter impose the surcharge in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section.
(j) The corporate authorities of any municipality or county may issue, in accordance with Illinois law, bonds, notes or other obligations secured in whole or in part by the proceeds of the surcharge described in this Section.
Notwithstanding any change in law subsequent to the issuance of any bonds, notes or other obligations secured by the surcharge, every municipality or county issuing such bonds, notes or other obligations shall be authorized to impose the surcharge as though the laws relating to the imposition of the surcharge in effect at the time of issuance of the bonds, notes or other obligations were in full force and effect until the bonds, notes or other obligations are paid in full.
The State of Illinois pledges and agrees that it will not limit or alter the rights and powers vested in municipalities and counties by this Section to impose the surcharge so as to impair the terms of or affect the security for bonds, notes or other obligations secured in whole or in part with the proceeds of the surcharge described in this Section.
(k) Any surcharge collected by or imposed on a telecommunications carrier pursuant to this Section shall be held to be a special fund in trust for the municipality, county SB0837 Enrolled - 7 - LRB095 05548 HLH 25638 b or Joint Emergency Telephone Board imposing the surcharge.
Except for the 3% deduction provided in subsection (g) above, the special fund shall not be subject to the claims of creditors of the telecommunication carrier.

The Wireless Emergency Telephone Safety Act is amended by changing Sections 15, 17, 25, 35, 45, and 70 as follows:
(50 ILCS 751/15) (Section scheduled to be repealed on April 1, 2008) Sec.
15.
Wireless emergency 9-1-1 service.
The digits "9-1-1" shall be the designated emergency telephone number within the wireless system.
(a) Standards.
The Illinois Commerce Commission may set non-discriminatory, uniform technical and operational standards consistent with the rules of the Federal Communications Commission for directing calls to authorized public safety answering points.
These standards shall not in any way prescribe the technology or manner a wireless carrier shall use to deliver wireless 9-1-1 or wireless E9-1-1 calls and these standards shall not exceed the requirements set by the Federal Communications Commission.
However, standards for directing calls to the authorized public safety answering point SB0837 Enrolled - 12 - LRB095 05548 HLH 25638 b shall be included.
The authority given to the Illinois Commerce Commission in this Section is limited to setting standards as set forth herein and does not constitute authority to regulate wireless carriers.
(b) Wireless public safety answering points.
For the purpose of providing wireless 9-1-1 emergency services, an emergency telephone system board or, in the absence of an emergency telephone system board, a qualified governmental entity may declare its intention for one or more of its public safety answering points to serve as a primary wireless 9-1-1 public safety answering point for its jurisdiction by notifying the Chief Clerk of the Illinois Commerce Commission and the Director of State Police in writing within 6 months after the effective date of this Act or within 6 months after receiving its authority to operate a 9-1-1 system under the Emergency Telephone System Act, whichever is later.
In addition, 2 or more emergency telephone system boards or qualified units of local government may, by virtue of an intergovernmental agreement, provide wireless 9-1-1 service.
The Department of State Police shall be the primary wireless 9-1-1 public safety answering point for any jurisdiction not providing notice to the Commission and the Department of State Police.
Nothing in this Act shall require the provision of wireless enhanced 9-1-1 services.
The Illinois Commerce Commission, upon a joint request from the Department of State Police and a qualified governmental SB0837 Enrolled - 13 - LRB095 05548 HLH 25638 b entity or an emergency telephone system board, may grant authority to the emergency telephone system board or a qualified governmental entity to provide wireless 9-1-1 service in areas for which the Department of State Police has accepted wireless 9-1-1 responsibility.
The Illinois Commerce Commission shall maintain a current list of all 9-1-1 systems and qualified governmental entities providing wireless 9-1-1 service under this Act.
Any emergency telephone system board or qualified governmental entity providing wireless 9-1-1 service prior to the effective date of this Act may continue to operate upon notification as previously described in this Section.
An emergency telephone system board or a qualified governmental entity shall submit, with its notification, the date upon which it commenced operating.
(c) Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1 Board.
The Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1 Board is created.

Members of the Board may not receive any compensation but may, however, be reimbursed for any necessary expenditure in connection with their duties.
Except as provided in Section 45, the Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1 Board shall set the amount of the monthly wireless surcharge required to be imposed under Section 17 on all wireless subscribers in this State.
Prior to the Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1 Board setting any surcharge, the Board shall publish the proposed surcharge in the Illinois Register, hold hearings on the surcharge and the requirements for an efficient wireless emergency number system, and elicit public comment.
The Board shall determine the minimum cost necessary for implementation of this system and the amount of revenue produced based upon the number of wireless telephones in use.
The Board shall set the surcharge at the minimum amount necessary to achieve the goals of the Act and shall, by July 1, 2000, file this information with the Governor, the Clerk of the House, and the Secretary of the Senate.
The surcharge may not be more than $0.75 per month per CMRS connection.
The Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1 Board shall report to the General Assembly by July 1, 2000 on implementing wireless non-emergency services for the purpose of public safety using the digits 3-1-1.
The Board shall consider the delivery of 3-1-1 services in a 6 county area, including rural Cook County (outside of the City of Chicago), and DuPage, Lake, McHenry, Will, and Kane Counties, as well as counties outside of this SB0837 Enrolled - 15 - LRB095 05548 HLH 25638 b area by an emergency telephone system board, a qualified governmental entity, or private industry.
