MI HB5468

Establishes a prepaid wireless 9-1-1 surcharge of 1.92% per retail transaction, collected by sellers from consumers at point of sale and remitted to the Michigan Department of Treasury for deposit in the emergency 9-1-1 fund.

Permits sellers to retain 2% of collected prepaid wireless surcharges to cover direct costs of collection and remittance, and allows de minimis exemptions for transactions involving 10 minutes or less or $5.00 or less of prepaid wireless service.

Maintains existing state 9-1-1 charges (19 cents per service user, adjustable annually between 15-25 cents) and county 9-1-1 charges (up to $0.42 by resolution or up to $3.00 with voter approval) on traditional communication services, excluding prepaid wireless users.

Protects providers and sellers of prepaid wireless services from liability for damages related to 9-1-1 service failures, identification errors, or lawful assistance provided to law enforcement.

Repeals the entire act effective December 31, 2021, with amendments taking effect January 1, 2013.
