ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor

Ch. 5

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, § 18-105(c).

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to an ordinance or resolution
"enacted or adopted" after a public hearing is added, and the reference to
"impos[ing]" an additional charge is substituted, for the former reference to
"enact[ing] or adopt[ing]" an additional charge, for accuracy.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to an additional charge
to be "added" to bills is substituted for the former reference to an
additional charge to be "applied" to bills for consistency with subsections
(e) and (f) of this section.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to "the 911 fee
imposed by subsection (b) of this section" is deleted as unnecessary in light
of the use of the defined term "9-1-1 fee".

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to the additional charge
"imposed by a county" is added for clarity.

Also in subsection (b)(1) of this section, the phrase "per bill" is added to
clarify that the additional charge may be added to each bill.

In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to a "county" ordinance or
resolution is added for clarity and consistency with subsection (a) of this
section.

In subsection (d) of this section, the reference to "imposing" an additional
charge is substituted for the former reference to "adopting" an additional
charge for accuracy.

In subsection (f) of this section, the reference to a county "adopt[ing]" an
ordinance or resolution is added for consistency with subsection (a) of this
section.

Also in subsection (f) of this section, the reference to an ordinance or
resolution that "imposes" an additional charge is substituted for the former
reference to an ordinance or resolution that "adopts" an additional charge
for accuracy.

In subsection (g)(1)(iii) of this section, the requirement that "all" money
"collected" be remitted "on a" monthly "basis" is added for clarity and
consistency with § 1-310(c)(2)(ii) and (d)(2)(ii) of this subtitle.

Subsection (g)(2) of this section is revised in the active voice to clarify that
it is the duty of the Comptroller to deposit the money collected under this
section in the appropriate 9-1-1 Trust Fund account.

The Public Safety Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by the
General Assembly, that there is no procedure specified in the law for
notifying 9-1-1 service carriers that an additional charge has been
imposed by a county under this section.
