Re: AB 1717 (Perea) Telecommunications: Prepaid Mobile Telephony Services
NOTICE OF SUPPORT
Dear Assembly Member Bradford,
I write on behalf of the City of San Luis Obispo to express our support of AB 1717 when
it comes before you in the Assembly Utilities and Commerce Committee. This legislation would
provide a statewide mechanism for the collection of existing state and local revenues as it relates
to prepaid wireless services. Most recently, prepaid wireless has achieved great popularity in the
market and AB 1717 would establish a uniform, statewide collection mechanism for prepaid
wireless services based on the point of sale (for retail sales) and "known address" for internet
sales.
The City of San Luis Obispo supports this legislation as a necessary tool for collecting
and protecting our local tax revenues, and in assuring tax equity. We respectfully request your
"AYE," vote on AB 1717 as it is a step in finding a solution to collecting much needed existing
local revenues from prepaid wireless services.
Sincerely,
an Marx
Mayor
