ATLANTA (WJBF) – Georgia is moving to modernize its 911 call center system to make it easier for people to get help during emergencies.
State lawmakers passed two key measures last session, including House Bill 423, which requires all new 911 systems to meet Next Generation 911 (NG911) standards. Another measure, House Bill 429, created a study committee to plan the transition. The state has allocated nearly $6 million to begin the process, with updates expected by January 2026.
