(a) Service providers shall collect and remit
the 9-1-1 service fees authorized by Health and Safety Code §§
771.071,
771.0711, and
771.0712
(collectively, 9-1-1 fees) and the equalization surcharge authorized by Health
and Safety Code §
771.072 (the
surcharge) from their customers in accordance with Health and Safety Code
Chapter 771. Customers includes subscribers, end-users, and any other person or
entity not expressly exempted from the 9-1-1 fees or surcharge by Health and
Safety Code §

legal action to enforce the collection of the fees or surcharges. Service
providers have no authority to cease collecting and remitting 9-1-1 fees and
surcharges for any non-exempt customer unless and until formally authorized to
do so by the Commission.
(c) A
service provider that fails to separately state the 9-1-1 fees or surcharge on
a customer's bill or combined in an appropriately labeled single line item on
the customer's bill is not exempt from the requirements of this
section.
