House Study Committee on Funding for Next Generation 9-1-1; create

HR 429 creates a House Study Committee to examine Georgia's funding model for Next Generation 9-1-1, which would modernize emergency call services. The committee, composed of five House members appointed by the Speaker, will review the state's current 9-1-1 system (unchanged since 1968 and funded by a 1977 model) and recommend reforms to support the transition to a modern system capable of handling mobile calls (85% of 9-1-1 traffic). The committee must submit a report to the House by December 1, 2025, including any proposed legislation for funding changes. This resolution does not enact new law but establishes a process to evaluate funding needs for improved emergency services.
