Public Law 116–260, Division FF, Title 

IX, Section 902, Don’t Break Up the TBand Act of 2020 (section 902), to 

submit an annual ‘‘Fee Accountability 

Report’’ to the Committee on Commerce,

and Commerce of the House of 

Representatives ‘‘detailing the status in 

each State of the collection and 

distribution of [911 fees or charges], and 

including findings on the amount of 

revenues obligated or expended by each 

State or political subdivision thereof for 

any purpose or function other than the 

purposes and functions designated in 

the final rules issued under paragraph 

(3) as purposes and functions for which
