This bill amends R.S. 33:9109(C)(2) to allow the Terrebonne Parish Communications District to increase its service charge for 911 emergency services on wireless phone connections. The current law permits a maximum charge of one dollar and twenty-five cents per month per wireless CMRS connection or the rate authorized as of August 1, 2016, whichever is higher. The new provision specifically allows the governing authority of the Terrebonne Parish Communications District to levy a charge of up to one dollar and eighty-five cents per month per wireless CMRS connection.

The bill introduces a new legal framework that enables the Terrebonne Parish Communications District to adjust its service charge beyond the previous limit, thereby providing the district with greater flexibility in funding its emergency services. This change aims to enhance the financial resources available for 911 services in the area, ensuring that the district can effectively meet the needs of its residents.
