The Kari's Law Reporting Act requires the Federal Communications Commission to report on the enforcement of a specific section of the Communications Act related to multi-line telephone systems. The report must address compliance by manufacturers and vendors, potential difficulties in compliance, ways to improve enforcement policies, and recommendations for further legislation if necessary. This Act impacts the enforcement of Kari's Law Act of 2017, specifically focusing on multi-line telephone system compliance and potential legislative improvements.
Kari's Law Reporting Act
This bill requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to publish a report on the enforcement of Kari’s Law, which requires multiline telephone systems to be preconfigured to allow users to dial 9-1-1 directly from any phone without dialing any additional code or prefix.
The report must include (1) a summary of the extent to which multiline telephone system manufacturers and vendors have complied with the law, and any obstacles to their compliance; and (2) related recommendations for improvements to FCC policy or further legislation, if necessary.
