TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) – Gov. Sam Brownback has signed legislation revising the fees that Kansans pay on phone bills to support 911 services.

The new law imposes a fee of 53 cents for all land-line and cell phone customers. It also sets a 1.06 percent fee per retail transaction on prepaid wireless telephones.

Revenue from the fees will go to county and city governments to help them provide and improve emergency assistance systems. The law also creates a new council to monitor delivery of 911 services and suggest improvements.
