   The provisions of this Chapter 120b issued under section 13(a)(1) of the Public Safety Emergency Telephone Act (35 P. S. §  7013(a)(1)), unless otherwise noted.

   The provisions of this Chapter 120b adopted May 3, 1991, effective May 4, 1991, 21 Pa.B. 2140; renumbered from 16 Pa. Code Chapter 36a, May 16, 1997, effective May 17, 1997, 27 Pa.B. 2415, unless otherwise noted.

   Doctrine of Primary Jurisdiction

   County’s claim that telephone service provider had incorrectly billed, collected, and remitted 911 contribution as to all lines providing ‘‘local telepone service’’ should be decided pursuant to the doctrine of primary jurisdiction, where the parties preliminarily resort to the agency that administers the scheme for resolution of disputes; therefore, the proper course was for trial court to transfer the matter to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission which has, inter alia, special experience and expertise in complex areas and possesses the authority to order appropriate remedies.
