To replace the previous version of the bill with one which does not repeal the tax on July 1, 2004. Instead, the tax would be lowered to 29-cents on Jan. 1, 2004, or on Jan. 1, 2005, depending on whether a particular cell phone provider is recovering expenses from the revenue generated by this tax. The tax would expire on Dec. 31, 2006. The substitute also revises the distribution formula for revenue from the tax, and allows SBC and Verizon to recover 9-1-1 expenses from the tax revenue.
