A 40 wireless communication services company may elect to make partial 41 payments equal to one quarter of the total amount billed, by March tenth 42 of the preceding fiscal year to which the billing relates, or on such 43 other dates as the director of the budget may require. On or before 44 September thirtieth of each year, the chair shall compute the actual 45 direct and indirect costs and expenses of the commission relating to the 46 implementation of this section by wireless communication services compa- 47 nies for the preceding state fiscal year and shall compute the amount 48 actually received as reimbursement for the preceding state fiscal year. 49 If such amount collected by the department as reimbursement for the 50 preceding fiscal year is less than the direct and indirect costs and 51 expenses incurred by the commission and the department relating to the 52 implementation of this section by wireless communication services compa- 53 nies during such preceding fiscal year, the chair shall, on or before 54 October fifteenth of each year, bill each wireless communication 55 services company for its proportionate share of the deficit.
