Kansas House OKs 50 cent 911 fee to boost emergency systems
The Kansas House advanced a bill to create a 50 cent monthly 911 fee on wireless phones, expected to raise at least 7.5 million annually for county dispatch centers. The measure moves to final action after Senate passage last year. Proponents say location data will improve accuracy, while opponents warn of ongoing consumer costs. Rep. Carl Krehbiel backed the plan. Rep. Eric Carter urged expiration in 2010.
