Defines "Trust Fund". Provides that beginning January 1, 2013, (now, January 1, 2008) the monthly surcharge imposed on wireless carriers shall be $1.00, rather than $0.73. Removes provisions concerning amounts per surcharge to be deposited into specified funds. Requires the State Treasurer to deposit $0.80 per surcharge into the Wireless Service Emergency Fund for distribution to the 9-1-1 authorities and $0.18 per surcharge into the NG9-1-1 Service Equalization Trust Fund. Provides that 1% of the amounts collected may be distributed to the Illinois Commerce Commission to cover administrative costs. Further provides that in the case of a delinquent report, the Illinois Commerce Commission may impose a penalty on a carrier equal to the product of $0.1 (now, 1/2¢) and the number of subscribers served by the carrier, and that any penalty imposed shall be deposited into the NG9-1-1 Service Equalization Trust Fund. Provides that the Act is repealed on January 1, 2018 (now, April 1, 2013). Effective January 1, 2013.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
