  "short_title": "Prepaid Wireless Telecom Services Modifications",
  "bill_summary": "<html><body><p>Colorado imposes 3 charges on all retail sales of prepaid wireless telecommunications services: A prepaid wireless 911 charge, a prepaid wireless 988 charge, and a prepaid wireless telephone disability access (TDA) charge, which, effective January 1, 2026, replaces the former telecommunications relay service charge. The bill makes the following modifications to the laws implementing the 3 prepaid wireless telecommunications services:</p><ul><li> <b>Sections 1 and 10</b> of the bill correct erroneous cross references in connection with the prepaid wireless telecommunications services.<li> <b>Section 2</b> modifies the definition of &quot;prepaid wireless telecommunications service&quot; (prepaid wireless definition) in the statute that implements the prepaid wireless 911 charge to include a wireless telecommunications service that is paid in advance, sold in predetermined units of time or money that decline with use or provides unlimited use of the service for a fixed time, and allows a user to make 911 calls. In addition, <b>section 7</b> adds a cross reference to the prepaid wireless definition to the statute that implements the prepaid wireless TDA charge. <b>Section 7</b> also adds a cross reference to an existing definition of &quot;telecommunications service&quot; to the prepaid wireless TDA charge statute, and <b>section 9</b> adds the same cross reference to the prepaid wireless 988 charge statute.<li>Current law obligates a provider of free prepaid wireless services that uses federally supported services or programs to pay the prepaid wireless 911 charge. However, providers are not consistently referenced in the definition of a retail transaction or surcharge remittance procedures for the prepaid wireless 911 charge. <b>Section 3</b> adds providers to both the definition and the remittance procedures.<li>Current law lists taxes or fees that are administered by the department of revenue (department), including the prepaid wireless 911 charge and the prepaid wireless TDA charge. <b>Section 4</b> includes the prepaid wireless 988 charge in the list of taxes or fees that are administered by the department. <li>Current law permits the department to disclose confidential tax information regarding the prepaid wireless 911 charge to the public utilities commission (commission) and local governing bodies. <b>Section 5</b> allows the department to disclose the same information regarding the prepaid wireless TDA charge and the prepaid wireless 988 charge to the commission and their respective enterprises.<li>Current law allows the department to require electronic filing and payment for the prepaid wireless 911 charge and the TDA charge. <b>Section 6</b> allows the department to require electronic filing and payment for the prepaid wireless 988 charge.<li>Current law specifies that telecommunications services that are not subject to the prepaid wireless 911 charge are subject to the other 911 charges imposed by law. <b>Section 8</b> clarifies that telecommunications services that are not subject to the prepaid wireless TDA charge are subject to other TDA charges imposed by law, and <b>section 10</b> makes the same clarification regarding the prepaid wireless 988 charge.<li>The prepaid wireless 911 charge is imposed on providers that use federally supported services to provide free prepaid wireless telecommunications services. <b><strike>Sections 9 and</strike></b> <b> </b> <b><i>Section</i></b> <b> </b> <b><i>10</i></b> <strike>impose the prepaid wireless 988 charge on such providers in the same manner as the prepaid wireless 911 charge</strike> <i>clarifies that federally supported lifeline service suppliers and users are exempt from the prepaid wireless 988 charge</i> .</li></ul><i>(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)</i></p><p><i>(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)</i></p></body></html>",

In addition, <b>section 7</b> adds a cross reference to the prepaid wireless definition to the statute that implements the prepaid wireless TDA charge. <b>Section 7</b> also adds a cross reference to an existing definition of &quot;telecommunications service&quot; to the prepaid wireless TDA charge statute, and <b>section 9</b> adds the same cross reference to the prepaid wireless 988 charge statute.<li>Current law obligates a provider of free prepaid wireless services that uses federally supported services or programs to pay the prepaid wireless 911 charge. However, providers are not consistently referenced in the definition of a retail transaction or surcharge remittance procedures for the prepaid wireless 911 charge. <b>Section 3</b> adds providers to both the definition and the remittance procedures.<li>Current law lists taxes or fees that are administered by the department of revenue (department), including the prepaid wireless 911 charge and the prepaid wireless TDA charge. <b>Section 4</b> includes the prepaid wireless 988 charge in the list of taxes or fees that are administered by the department. <li>Current law permits the department to disclose confidential tax information regarding the prepaid wireless 911 charge to the public utilities commission (commission) and local governing bodies. <b>Section 5</b> allows the department to disclose the same information regarding the prepaid wireless TDA charge and the prepaid wireless 988 charge to the commission and their respective enterprises.<li>Current law allows the department to require electronic filing and payment for the prepaid wireless 911 charge and the TDA charge. <b>Section 6</b> allows the department to require electronic filing and payment for the prepaid wireless 988 charge.<li>Current law specifies that telecommunications services that are not subject to the prepaid wireless 911 charge are subject to the other 911 charges imposed by law. <b>Section 8</b> clarifies that telecommunications services that are not subject to the prepaid wireless TDA charge are subject to other TDA charges imposed by law, and <b>section 10</b> makes the same clarification regarding the prepaid wireless 988 charge.<li>The prepaid wireless 911 charge is imposed on providers that use federally supported services to provide free prepaid wireless telecommunications services. <b><strike>Sections 9 and</strike></b> <b> </b> <b><i>Section</i></b> <b> </b> <b><i>10</i></b> <strike>impose the prepaid wireless 988 charge on such providers in the same manner as the prepaid wireless 911 charge</strike> <i>clarifies that federally supported lifeline service suppliers and users are exempt from the prepaid wireless 988 charge</i> .</li></ul><i>(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)</i></p><p><i>(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)</i></p></body></html>","amendment_files":[{"chamber":"Senate","date":"03/03/2026 04:55:20 PM","amendment":"L.002","hearing":"SEN Finance","vote":"Passed*","url":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/11E3998F5131262687258DAE007ABD48/HB1115_L.002.pdf","url_html":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/11E3998F5131262687258DAE007ABD48/HB1115_L_002.html"},{"chamber":"House","date":"02/19/2026 10:33:38 AM","amendment":"L.001","hearing":"HOU Finance","vote":"Passed*","url":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/817CCA60D915C7C587258DA200649F66/HB1115_L.001.pdf","url_html":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/817CCA60D915C7C587258DA200649F66/HB1115_L_001.html"}],"session_laws_files":"","votes":[{"vote_id":"118","chamber":"HOUSE","action":"Third Reading","date":"02/23/2026",
