1. The State Board of Health shall adopt regulations to impose a surcharge on each access line of each customer of a company that provides commercial mobile communication services or IP-enabled voice services in this State in accordance with 47 U.S.C. § 251a and each access line or trunk line of each customer to the local exchange of any telecommunications provider providing those lines in this State. Those companies and providers shall collect the surcharge from their customers and transfer the money collected to the Division pursuant to regulations adopted by the State Board of Health. The amount of the surcharge must be sufficient to support the uses set forth in subsection 2, except that the amount of the surcharge must not exceed 35 cents for each access line or trunk line.

(a) Must be used by the Division to carry out the provisions of NRS 433.702 to 433.710, inclusive, to the extent authorized by 47 U.S.C. § 251a; and
