Counties push to extend 911 tax to cell phones in Kansas
Kansas counties plan to push next year for a monthly 911 tax on cellular and wireless phones to fund emergency communications. Currently 911 tax applies to landlines, and cell users would help cover equipment costs and location tracking needs as 30 percent of calls come from cell phones. Officials note the change would require substantial funds for new radios and phones and speaker concerns from cellular plan providers.
