Cnty. of Butler v. Centurylink Communications, LLC. PICS Case No. 17-0975 (Pa. Commw. June 8, 2017) Brobson, J. (16 pages).
Trial court erred in dismissing county’s action against service providers for failing to collect and remit certain fees under the 911 act because the county had an obligation under the statutory scheme, its ability to meet those obligations was dependent on the service providers charging consumers in compliance with the act and the act did not preclude county from bringing its dispute to a court for resolution. Reversed.
