WV HB5351

Expands the types of communication services subject to county 911 fees beyond traditional landlines to include voice over internet protocol (VoIP) subscribers and any other users whose use can reasonably be related to 911 services

Authorizes county commissions to collect 911 user fees directly or contract with third-party billing agents, replacing the previous requirement to contract specifically with telephone companies

Requires competing local exchange telephone companies with customers in a county to bill and remit enhanced emergency telephone system fees to their respective customers when a billing agent contract exists

Maintains that 911 fee revenues may only be used for capital, installation, administration, operation, and maintenance costs of enhanced emergency telephone systems and city-type addressing conversion

Removes outdated 2006-specific implementation language regarding VoIP service fees while retaining Public Service Commission authority to issue orders and rules concerning fee imposition
