Arizona 9-1-1

 The 9-1-1 Program office has oversight responsibility for the revenues that are collected through the Emergency Telecommunication Service Revolving Fund. Revenues are generated through a Telecommunications Services Excise tax rate of $0.20 per month for each activated wire, wireless and voice over internet protocol (VoIP) service account. In addition, a small percentage of the amount for prepaid wireless sales at the retail level also contribute to the fund.  Collections are used to implement and operate emergency telecommunication services (9-1-1) through political sub-divisions of the state.
