The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 1318 proposes the implementation of a monthly fee of five cents per access line, which will be assessed by telephone and telecommunications companies, as well as providers of commercial mobile radio service and voice over Internet protocol service. This fee is intended to support the firefighters cancer relief account established under section 7-313h of the general statutes. The bill mandates that the collected fees be remitted to the State Treasurer by the fifteenth day of each month. Notably, the bill specifies that this fee will not apply to prepaid wireless telecommunications services.

The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2025, and introduces new legal language to current law, specifically creating a new section that outlines the fee structure and its intended purpose. There are no deletions from existing law mentioned in the text provided.
