Section 308-B. Establishment of county of Tioga wireless surcharge

1.
  Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary, the county of
  Tioga, acting through its legislative body,  is  hereby  authorized  and
  empowered  to adopt, amend or repeal local laws to impose a surcharge in
  an  amount  not  to  exceed  thirty  cents   per   month   on   wireless
  communications  service  in  the county of Tioga. The surcharge shall be
  imposed on each wireless communications device and  shall  be  reflected
  and  made  payable on bills rendered for wireless communications service
  that is provided to a customer whose place of primary use is within  the
  county.  For  purposes  of this section, the term "place of primary use"
  shall mean the street  address  that  is  representative  of  where  the
  customer's  use of the wireless communications service primarily occurs,
  which address must be: (a) the residential street address or the primary
  business street address of the customer; and  (b)  within  the  licensed
  service area of the wireless communications service supplier.
    2.  Any  local  law  adopted  pursuant to this section shall state the
  amount  of  the  surcharge  and  the  date   on   which   the   wireless
  communications service supplier shall begin to add such surcharge to the
  billings  of its customers. Any wireless communications service supplier
  within the county of Tioga which has imposed a surcharge pursuant to the
  provisions of this section shall be given a minimum of  forty-five  days
  written notice prior to the date it shall begin to add such surcharge to
  the  billings of its customers or prior to any modification to or change
  in the surcharge amount.
    3. (a) Each  wireless  communications  service  supplier  serving  the
  county  of Tioga shall act as collection agent for such county and shall
  remit the funds collected pursuant to  a  surcharge  imposed  under  the
  provisions  of this section to the chief fiscal officer of the county of
  Tioga every month. Such funds shall be remitted  no  later  than  thirty
  days after the last business day of the month.
    (b) Each wireless communications service supplier shall be entitled to
  retain,  as an administrative fee, an amount equal to two percent of its
  collections of a surcharge imposed under the provisions of this section.
    (c)  Any  surcharge  required  to   be   collected   by   a   wireless
  communications  service supplier shall be added to and stated separately
  in its billings to customers.
    (d) Each wireless communications service customer who  is  subject  to
  the  provisions  of  this section shall be liable to the county of Tioga
  for the surcharge until it has been paid to the county of  Tioga  except
  that payment to a wireless communications service supplier is sufficient
  to relieve the customer from further liability for such surcharge.
    (e)  No  wireless  communications  service supplier shall have a legal
  obligation to enforce the collection of any surcharge imposed under  the
  provisions  of  this  section,  provided,  however,  that  whenever  the
  wireless communications service supplier remits the funds  collected  to
  the  county of Tioga, it shall also provide the county of Tioga with the
  name and address of any customer refusing or failing to pay a  surcharge
  imposed  under the provisions of this section and shall state the amount
  of such surcharge remaining unpaid.
    (f) Each  wireless  communications  service  supplier  shall  annually
  provide  to  the  county of Tioga an accounting of the surcharge amounts
  billed and collected.
    4. All surcharge monies remitted to the county of Tioga by a  wireless
  communications   service   supplier   shall   be   expended   only  upon
  authorization of the legislative  body  of  such  county  and  only  for
  payment of eligible wireless 911 service costs as defined in subdivision
  sixteen of section three hundred twenty-five of this chapter. The county
  of  Tioga  shall  separately  account  for  and  keep adequate books and

  records of the amount and source of all such monies and  of  the  amount
  and object or purpose of all expenditures thereof. If, at the end of any
  fiscal  year,  the  total  amount  of all such monies exceeds the amount
  necessary  for payment of the above mentioned costs in such fiscal year,
  such excess shall be reserved and carried over for the payment of  those
  costs in the following fiscal year.
