Go to top STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 8035 2013-2014 Regular Sessions IN ASSEMBLY June 17, 2013 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. MORELLE -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Local Governments AN ACT to amend the county law, in relation to wireless surcharges in Monroe county The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. The county law is amended by adding a new section 308-y to 2 read as follows: 3 § 308-y. Establishment of county of Monroe wireless surcharge. 1. 4 Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary, the county of 5 Monroe, acting through its local county legislative body, is hereby 6 authorized and empowered to adopt, amend or repeal local laws to impose 7 a surcharge in an amount not to exceed thirty cents per month on wire- 8 less communications service in Monroe county. The surcharge shall be 9 imposed on each wireless communications device and shall be reflected 10 and made payable on bills rendered for wireless communications service 11 that is provided to a customer whose place of primary use is within the 12 county. For purposes of this section, the term "place of primary use" 13 shall mean the street address that is representative of where the 14 customer's use of the wireless communications service primarily occurs, 15 which address must be: (a) the residential street address or the primary 16 business street address of the customer; and (b) within the licensed 17 service area of the wireless communications service supplier. 18 2. Any local law adopted pursuant to this section shall state the 19 amount of the surcharge and the date on which the wireless communi- 20 cations service supplier shall begin to add such surcharge to the bill- 21 ings of its customers. Any wireless communications service supplier 22 within Monroe county which has imposed a surcharge pursuant to the 23 provisions of this section shall be given a minimum of forty-five days 24 written notice prior to the date it shall begin to add such surcharge to EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD11539-01-3A. 8035 2 1 the billings of its customers or prior to any modification to or change 2 in the surcharge amount. 3 3. (a) Each wireless communications service supplier serving Monroe 4 county shall act as collection agent for the county and shall remit the 5 funds collected pursuant to a surcharge imposed under the provisions of 6 this section to the chief fiscal officer of Monroe county every month. 7 Such funds shall be remitted no later than thirty days after the last 8 business day of the month. 9 (b) Each wireless communications service supplier shall be entitled to 10 retain, as an administrative fee, an amount equal to two percent of its 11 collections of a surcharge imposed under the provisions of this section. 12 (c) Any surcharge required to be collected by a wireless communi- 13 cations service supplier shall be added to and stated separately in its 14 billings to customers. 15 (d) Each wireless communications service customer who is subject to 16 the provisions of this section shall be liable to Monroe county for the 17 surcharge until it has been paid to Monroe county except that payment to 18 a wireless communications service supplier is sufficient to relieve the 19 customer from further liability for such surcharge. 20 (e) No wireless communications service supplier shall have a legal 21 obligation to enforce the collection of any surcharge imposed under the 22 provisions of this section, provided, however, that whenever the wire- 23 less communications service supplier remits the funds collected to 24 Monroe county, it shall also provide Monroe county with the name and 25 address of any customer refusing or failing to pay a surcharge imposed 26 under the provisions of this section and shall state the amount of such 27 surcharge remaining unpaid. 28 (f) Each wireless communications service supplier shall annually 29 provide to Monroe county an accounting of the surcharge amounts billed 30 and collected. 31 4. All surcharge monies remitted to Monroe county by a wireless commu- 32 nications service supplier shall be expended only upon authorization of 33 the local county legislative body and only for payment of eligible wire- 34 less 911 service costs as defined in subdivision sixteen of section 35 three hundred twenty-five of this chapter. The county of Monroe shall 36 separately account for and keep adequate books and records of the amount 37 and source of all such monies and of the amount and object or purpose of 38 all expenditures thereof. If, at the end of any fiscal year, the total 39 amount of all such monies exceeds the amount necessary for payment of 40 the above mentioned costs in such fiscal year, such excess shall be 41 reserved and carried over for the payment of those costs in the follow- 42 ing fiscal year. 43 § 2. Subdivision 16 of section 325 of the county law, as added by 44 section 1 of part G of chapter 81 of the laws of 2002, is amended to 45 read as follows: 46 16. "Eligible wireless 911 service costs" shall mean costs eligible 47 for reimbursement and shall include the actual costs incurred by the 48 locality related to the design, installation, operation, or maintenance 49 of a system to provide enhanced wireless 911 service, including, but not 50 limited to, hardware, software, consultants, financing and other acqui- 51 sition costs. 52 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that 53 the provisions of subdivision 1 of section 308-y of the county law, as 54 added by section one of this act shall apply to bills rendered to wire- 55 less communications service customers by a wireless communications 56 service supplier on and after the expiration of the notice periodA. 8035 3 1 required pursuant to the provisions of subdivision 2 of such section 2 308-y; provided further, that a wireless communications service supplier 3 may treat the address used by such supplier for any wireless communi- 4 cations customer under a service contract or agreement in effect on the 5 effective date of the local law imposing such surcharge, as that wire- 6 less communications customer's place of primary use for the remaining 7 term of such service contract or agreement, excluding any extension or 8 renewal of such service contract or agreement, for purposes of determin- 9 ing the taxing jurisdiction with respect to taxes on wireless communi- 10 cations service.
