Telecommunication Relay Service Funds

Companies of VRS, IP, and relay have no authorization and make a decision about where the telecommunication taxes and surcharges to go.The state is the ones who make an authorization to fund them. I am not sure which is department because they keep on referring me different departments and agencies.It was unusual case for South Dakota to use telecommunication tax and surcharge to pay for qualified babies who will receive free cochlear implant. Someone had mentioned that the Father of Deaf child was a friend of legislator. He had asked the legislator a favor in order to submit the bill for using telecommunication funds and to pay expenses of cochlear implant for his Deaf baby. The bill had passed. The bill said that babies who have no income or cover insurances only can afford the limit amount of money will receive a free cochlear implant.These funds should go to Deaf education, or programs with language (ASL) development and tutor for Deaf children in different subjects, The program will work with Parents and Deaf Children communicating to each other. These funds should not be target to one group in the Deaf community.. A Note: It would be great that we would give our support to people in South Dakota who will work on this case and have this bill nulled, expired or void.
