                   IN ASSEMBLY
 
                                    February 9, 2022
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by  M. of A. McDONALD, FAHY -- read once and referred to the
          Committee on Local Governments -- committee discharged, bill  amended,
          ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee
 
        AN  ACT to amend the county law and the tax law, in relation to communi-
          cation service surcharges applied to Albany county; and providing  for
          the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

          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  338  to
     2  read as follows:
     3    §  338.  County  of Albany enhanced 911 emergency telephone system. 1.
     4  Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary, the county of
     5  Albany 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 addition to the surcharge established and imposed  under
     8  section  three hundred three of this chapter, in an amount not to exceed
     9  ninety-five cents per access line per month on the  customers  of  every
    10  service  supplier  within such municipality to pay for the costs associ-
    11  ated with obtaining, operating  and  maintaining  the  telecommunication
    12  equipment  and  telephone  services  needed  to  provide an enhanced 911
    13  (E911) emergency telephone system to serve such county.
    14    2. Any such local law shall state the amount  of  the  surcharge,  the
    15  date  on which the service supplier shall begin to add such surcharge to
    16  the billings of its customers and, to the extent practicable,  the  date
    17  on which such E911 service is to begin. Such local law may authorize the
    18  service supplier to begin billing its customers for such surcharge prior
    19  to the date the E911 system service is to begin.
    20    3.  Any  service  supplier  within  a municipality which has imposed a
    21  surcharge pursuant to the provisions of this section shall  be  given  a
    22  minimum  of  forty-five  days  written notice prior to the date it shall
    23  begin to add such surcharge to the billings of its customers or prior to
    24  any modification to or change in the surcharge amount.
