Relates to ensuring access to emergency services via telephone
This bill requires hotels, motels, and other public-facing businesses (like restaurants or retail stores) that use shared multi-line telephone systems to configure those systems so 911 calls connect directly to emergency services without needing an access code. It also mandates that if a system uses an access code before 911, the call must still reach emergency services directly. Businesses unable to meet these requirements without upgrading hardware must place clear, bold stickers on all phones explaining how to call 911 during emergencies. Violations carry fines of $250 for the first offense and $500 for repeat offenses, with hearings required before penalties are imposed.
