I 115th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 4672 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES December 18, 2017 Ms. Eshoo (for herself, Mr. Pallone , and Mrs. Torres ) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce , and in addition to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology , for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned A BILL To further deployment of Next Generation 9–1–1 services to enhance and upgrade the Nation’s 9–1–1 systems, and for other purposes.

1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Next Generation 9–1–1 Act of 2017 . 2. Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The Nation’s 9–1–1 systems, while a model for the entire world, lack the advanced functionality, interoperability, and capabilities that come with the adoption of new, digital communications technologies. (2) Communications technologies currently available to the public, including first responders and other public safety personnel, have substantially outpaced the legacy communications technologies still used by most public safety answering points in the Nation's 9–1–1 systems. (3) This lack of modern technology, when coupled with other challenges, is impacting the ability of the Nation's 9–1–1 systems to efficiently and effectively provide responses to emergencies. (4) Modernizing the Nation’s 9–1–1 systems to incorporate the new and evolving capabilities of broadband voice and data communications is essential for the safety and security of the public, including first responders and other public safety personnel. (5) Efforts to modernize the Nation's 9–1–1 systems to date, while laudable and important, have been limited due to a lack of funding and inconsistent or unclear policies related to the governance, deployment, and operations of Next Generation 9–1–1 services. (6) A nationwide strategy for Next Generation 9–1–1 services has become essential to help guide the transition and create a common framework for implementation of Next Generation 9–1–1 services while preserving State, regional, and local control over the governance and technology choices of the Nation's 9–1–1 systems. (7) Accelerated implementation of Next Generation 9–1–1 services will— (A) increase compatibility with emerging communications trends; (B) enhance the flexibility, reliability, and survivability of the Nation’s 9–1–1 systems during major incidents; (C) improve emergency response for the public, including first responders and other public safety personnel; (D) promote the functional interconnection of the Nation’s 9–1–1 systems with the wireless nationwide public safety broadband network being deployed by the First Responder Network Authority; and (E) increase the cost effectiveness of operating the Nation's 9–1–1 systems. 3. Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the Nation's 9–1–1 professionals perform important and lifesaving work every day, and need the tools and communications technologies to perform the work effectively in a world with new, digital communications technologies; (2) the transition from the legacy communications technologies used in the Nation's 9–1–1 systems to Next Generation 9–1–1 services is a national priority and a national imperative; (3) the Nation should complete the transition described in paragraph (2) as soon as practicable, with the goal of having full implementation of Next Generation 9–1–1 services not later than 10 years after the date of enactment of this Act; (4) the Nation should develop a framework that facilitates cooperation among Federal, State, and local officials on deployment of Next Generation 9–1–1 services in order to meet that goal; and (5) 9–1–1 authorities and the public safety answering points should have sufficient resources to implement Next Generation 9–1–1 services, including resources to support associated geographic information systems (commonly known as GIS ), cybersecurity measures, and the necessary training and workforce to manage these advanced communications capabilities. 4. Statement of policy It is the policy of the United States that— (1) Next Generation 9–1–1 services should be technologically and competitively neutral; (2) Next Generation 9–1–1 services should have seamless interoperability, including with respect to the transferability of information among public safety answering points; (3) the design and implementation of Next Generation 9–1–1 services should conform to accredited, non-proprietary, consensus-based standards; (4) the governance and control of the Nation’s 9–1–1 systems, including Next Generation 9–1–1 services, should remain at the State, regional, and local level; and (5) the American public should receive information on how to best utilize Next Generation 9–1–1 services and on the capabilities and usefulness of those services. 5.
