This tax seems like it would mostly effect the poor and military service members... who are the ones most likely to purchase pre-paid cell service. I say no new taxes.

2012 House Bill 5468 (Revise prepaid cell phone contract 9-1-1 tax )

Votes Admin — Sun, 06 May 2012 15:47:55 GMT

Introduced in the House on March 13, 2012, to replace current taxes imposed on pre-paid cell phone service to cover the cost of government 9-1-1 service, with a new 1.92 percent levy imposed at the point of sale (like sales tax). The current 9-1-1 service tax regime would still apply to other kinds of cell phone accounts

The vote was 106 in favor, 3 opposed and 1 not voting
