Modifies provisions relating to wireless emergency telephone service charges

Summary

The bill adds a charge of 3% (rising to 4% after 2026) on every prepaid wireless phone purchase, which sellers must collect and remit to the state. The money is first used to cover collection costs and then deposited into the Missouri 911 trust fund, with portions distributed to counties and cities. Local governments can block the fee by a two‑thirds vote, but may later adopt it again.
