What it requires
- If you are a local exchange telephone company, deduct and retain the percentage of the total deaf relay service and equipment distribution program fund surcharge that the public service commission sets to cover your billing, collecting, remitting and administrative costs, and remit all remaining surcharge money collected to the commission (Mo. Rev. Stat. sec. 209.257).
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
What this law does
The public service commission provides a statewide dual-party relay system that connects deaf, hearing-impaired and speech-impaired persons with the telephone system. The Missouri assistive technology advisory council provides a statewide telecommunications equipment distribution program for eligible subscribers who are unable to use traditional telecommunications equipment because of a disability.
Each local exchange telephone company must deduct and retain a percentage of the total surcharge amount collected each month to recover its billing, collecting, remitting and administrative costs and must remit the remaining surcharge money to the commission.
