SEC. 2. EMERGENCY SERVICE.

    (a) 911 and E-911 Services.--Notwithstanding section 2(b) or any 
other provision of the Communications Act of 1934, the Commission shall 
prescribe regulations to establish a set of requirements or obligations 
on providers of IP-enabled voice service to ensure that 911 and E-911 
services are available to customers to IP-enabled voice service. Such 
regulations shall include an appropriate transition period by which to 
comply with such requirements or obligations and take into 
consideration available industry technological and operational 
standards, including network security.
    (b) Non-Discriminatory Access to Capabilities.--Each entity with 
ownership or control of the necessary emergency services infrastructure 
shall provide any requesting IP-enabled voice service provider with 
nondiscriminatory access to their equipment, network, databases, 
interfaces and any other related capabilities necessary for the 
delivery and completion of 911 and E911 calls and information related 
to such 911 or E911 calls. Such access shall be consistent with 
industry standards established by the National Emergency Number 
Association or other applicable industry standards organizations. Such 
entity shall provide access to the infrastructure at just and 
reasonable, nondiscriminatory rates, terms and conditions. The 
telecommunications carrier or other entity shall provide such access to 
the infrastructure on a stand-alone basis.
    (c) State Authority.--Nothing in this Act, the Communications Act 
of 1934, or any Commission regulation or order shall prevent the 
imposition on or collection from a provider of voice services, 
including IP-enabled voice services, of any fee or charge specifically 
designated or presented as dedicated by a State, political subdivision 
thereof, or Indian tribe on an equitable, and non-discriminatory basis 
for the support of 911 and E-911 services if no portion of the revenue 
derived from such fee or charge is obligated or expended for any 
purpose other than support of 911 and E-911 services or enhancements of 
such services.
    (d) Standard.--The Commission may establish regulations imposing 
requirements or obligations on providers of voice services, entities 
with ownership or control of emergency services infrastructure under 
subsections (a) and (b) only to the extent that the Commission 
determines such regulations are technologically and operationally 
feasible.
    (e) Customer Notice.--Prior to the compliance with the rules as 
required by subsection (a), a provider of an IP-enabled voice service 
that is not capable of providing 911 and E-911 services shall provide a 
clear and conspicuous notice of the unavailability of such services to 
each customer at the time of entering into a contract for such service 
with that customer.
    (f) Voice Service Provider Responsibility.--An IP-enabled voice 
service provider shall have the sole responsibility for the proper 
design, operation, and function of the 911 and E911 access capabilities 
offered to the provider's customers.
    (g) Parity of Protection for Provision or Use of IP-Enabled Voice 
Service.--
            (1) Provider parity.--If a provider of an IP-enabled voice 
        service offers 911 or E-911 services in compliance with the 
        rules required by subsection (a), that provider, its officers, 
        directors, employees, vendors, and agents, shall have immunity 
        or other protection from liability of a scope and extent that 
        is not less than the scope and extent of immunity or other 
        protection from liability that any local exchange company, and 
        its officers directors, employees, vendors, or agents, have 
        under the applicable Federal and State law (whether through 
        statute, judicial decision, tariffs filed by such local 
        exchange company, or otherwise), including in connection with 
        an act or omission involving the release of subscriber 
        information related to the emergency calls or emergency 
        services to a public safety answering point, emergency medical 
        service provider, or emergency dispatch provider, public 
        safety, fire service, or law enforcement official, or hospital 
        emergency or trauma care facility.
            (2) User parity.--A person using an IP-enabled voice 
        service that offers 911 or E-911 services pursuant to this 
        subsection shall have immunity or other protection from 
        liability of a scope and extent that is not less than the scope 
        and extent of immunity or other protection from liability under 
        applicable law in similar circumstances of a person using 911 
        or E-911 service that is not provided through an IP-enabled 
        voice service.
            (3) PSAP parity.--In matters related to IP-enabled 911 and 
        E-911 communications, a PSAP, and its employees, vendors, 
        agents, and authorizing government entity (if any) shall have 
        immunity or other protection from liability of a scope and 
        extent that is not less than the scope and extent of immunity 
        or other protection from liability under applicable law 
        accorded to such PSAP, employees, vendors, agents, and 
        authorizing government entity, respective, in matters related
