Bill Number: HB 4249
Subject: 9-1-1 Equipment
Sponsor: Michelle Hoitenga
MASA Position:

Description: Eliminates the requirement that 9-1-1 service users with a multiline telephone system install additional equipment and rescinds related administrative rules. The law currently states that each service user with an MLTS to install the necessary equipment and software to provide specific location information for a 9-1-1 call by December 31, 2019. In some cases, an individual may call 911 for an emergency and the service system is unable to identify their exact location due to the call being made from a large building, remote area, but largely when calls are made from a MLTS. In 2015 the Michigan Public Service Commission ruled that required MLTS operators to install necessary equipment and software to ensure that the specific location information of a 9-1-1 call will be relayed through the system.
