Summary: Existing statutory language relating to the provision of 9-1-1 services is outdated in light of modern communications technologies. Historically, the state has provided liability protections to service providers of telecommunications related to delivering and responding to 9-1-1 emergency calls. HB 1972 seeks to update statutory language to reflect the ways people now use technology.
Analysis: Updating code to coincide with new societal and technological developments and clarifying code are useful endeavors and legitimate functions of limited government. HB 1972 does not contain a new grant of authority, and it does not expand government. For these reasons, TPPA recommends voting yes on HB 1972.
