Providers keep less from communication fees

North Dakota lowers the share of collected communication fees providers can keep from 5% to 2.5%. This combined cap covers actual fee collection costs and telephone exchange provider charges for 911 database management. Providers must send the remaining proceeds within 30 days after collecting payment from customers. Providers with fewer than 10 subscribers or customers in a jurisdiction can still send payments quarterly. The law does not change the fee charged to households.
