Wash. Rev. Code § 82.14B.010

Current through the 2024 Regular Session

Section 82.14B.010 - Findings

The legislature finds that the state and counties should be provided with an additional revenue source to fund 911 emergency communications systems throughout the state on a multicounty or countywide basis. The legislature further finds that the most efficient and appropriate method of deriving additional revenue for this purpose is to impose an excise tax on the use of switched access lines, radio access lines, and interconnected voice over internet protocol service lines.
