On April 21, 1993, Governor Edward

T. Schafer approved House Bill No.

1028 that established a program to

provide specialized telecommunica-

tions services and equipment to the

communications impaired. The re-

lay services program is funded by an

access line surcharge paid by the

customers of local exchange com-

panies and radio communications
