*   334.  County of Onondaga enhanced 911 emergency telephone system.
  1.   Notwithstanding the provisions of any  law  to  the  contrary,  the
  county  of Onondaga acting through its local county legislative body, is
  hereby authorized and empowered to adopt, amend or repeal local laws  to
  impose a surcharge, in addition to the surcharge established and imposed
  under section three hundred three of the county law, in an amount not to
  exceed  sixty-five  cents  per access line per month on the customers of
  every service supplier within such municipality to  pay  for  the  costs
  associated    with    obtaining,    operating    and   maintaining   the
  telecommunication equipment and telephone services needed to provide  an
  enhanced 911 (E911) emergency telephone system to serve such county.

2.  Any  such  local  law shall state the amount of the surcharge, the
  date on which the service supplier shall begin to add such surcharge  to
  the  billings  of its customers and, to the extent practicable, the date

  service supplier to begin billing its customers for such surcharge prior
  to the date the E911 system service is to begin.

  surcharge  pursuant  to  the provisions of this section shall be given a

  begin to add such surcharge to the billings of its customers or prior to
  any modification to or change in the surcharge amount.

4.  The  surcharge  established  pursuant  to  the  provisions of this
  section shall be imposed on a per access line basis on all current bills
  rendered for local exchange access service within the 911 service area.

5. No such surcharge shall be  imposed  upon  more  than  seventy-five
  exchange access lines per customer per location.
