Key U.S. House members introduced bipartisan legislation that would provide $15 billion in federal funding to support 911 centers nationwide as they make the transition from legacy technology to an IP-based next-generation 911 (NG911) platform.
Standalone legislation that had not been assigned a bill number as of Friday night, the “Next Generation 9-1-1 Act of 2023” was introduced by Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) and Richard Hudson (R-N.C.)—both of whom are members of the Congressional NextGen 911 Caucus.
