House Roll Call 639: Passed

To lower a 52-cent monthly cell phone "9-1-1" tax to 29-cents on Jan. 1, 2004, or on Jan. 1, 2005, depending on whether a particular cell phone provider is recovering expenses from the revenue generated by this tax. The tax would expire on Dec. 31, 2006. The bill also revises the distribution formula for revenue from the tax, and allows SBC and Verizon to recover 9-1-1 expenses from the tax revenue.
