Requires telecommunications system contracts provide for emergency 911
This bill requires telecommunications companies to guarantee 911 emergency coverage in contracts with municipalities for land leases involving telecom infrastructure. Specifically, it mandates that voice services provided under such agreements must ensure no dropped calls or service gaps in emergency 911 areas. The law applies directly to telecom companies operating within municipal boundaries and affects residents relying on reliable emergency calling. Key provisions define "coverage" as uninterrupted service for 911 calls and require contracts to include this standard. The bill takes effect 90 days after enactment.
