SPECIAL DISTRICTS: Requests communications districts throughout the state to implement necessary technology to receive text messages for 911 emergency services.

This Senate resolution urges communications districts across Louisiana to upgrade their systems so they can receive text messages for 911 emergency calls by December 31, 2024. The bill specifically targets districts that currently do not have this capability, aiming to help callers who cannot speak due to injury, medical emergencies, or dangerous situations. It directs state organizations to provide the necessary resources and training to help districts meet this deadline and requires a final report on which districts have successfully implemented the technology.
