LB 576 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions of the Enhanced Wireless 911 Services Act relating to surcharges and public hearings

LB 576 amends Nebraska's Enhanced Wireless 911 Services Act to adjust monthly fees charged to wireless service users and update how funding for 911 systems is determined. It establishes two monthly surcharge tiers: $1.70 for most users and $0.50 for users primarily in counties containing metropolitan cities, with clear billing requirements for carriers. The bill also mandates an annual public hearing by the Public Service Commission to set funding needs for 911 systems and revises the calculation method for prepaid wireless service fees. These changes directly affect wireless carriers (who collect fees), consumers (who pay them), and the 911 Service System Fund (which receives the revenue). The bill harmonizes existing provisions and repeals outdated sections of the law.
