A bill for an act relating to emergency telephone systems including next generation 911 systems and public safety answering points.

This bill updates Iowa's emergency 911 systems to align with federal requirements for next-generation 911 (NG911) technology. It directly affects phone companies, 911 service boards, and public safety agencies by requiring phone companies to share subscriber data with NG911 providers and changing funding allocations: reducing the share for joint 911 service boards from 60% to 46% of surcharge funds until federal transition phases (phases 1 and 2) are complete. Key provisions include mandating quarterly reimbursements for NG911 network maintenance, requiring data confidentiality, and directing a study on shared public safety answering point management. The bill aims to modernize 911 infrastructure while ensuring continued emergency call handling during the federal transition.
