E911 Modernization Amendment Act of 2025
This bill modernizes Washington D.C.'s 911 emergency communication system funding by updating fees and clarifying how funds are used. It establishes a uniform $1.00 monthly fee per access line (replacing older structures), increases prepaid wireless fees to 5%, and explicitly directs funds toward Next Generation 911 (NG911) infrastructure, cybersecurity, and multimedia capabilities. The legislation requires annual reporting and audits to ensure transparency, while mandating triennial fee reviews to account for inflation and system costs. These changes directly affect telecommunications providers (through updated fees) and residents (by improving emergency response reliability and technology).
