AI Summary

This bill comprehensively updates Nebraska's laws related to 911 emergency communication services, primarily by transferring and eliminating provisions from the Emergency Telephone Communications Systems Act and the Enhanced Wireless 911 Services Act, and changing provisions of the 911 Service System Act. The bill modernizes the state's approach to emergency communications by focusing on next-generation 911 (NG911) services, which are internet protocol-based systems that can handle various types of communications like voice, video, and text. Key provisions include updating definitions, establishing the Public Service Commission as the statewide implementation authority for 911 services, setting standards for technical support and training for public safety answering points, and creating a mechanism for funding the transition to next-generation 911 services. The bill also updates surcharge collection methods, extends implementation timelines for next-generation 911 services to 2026, and ensures compatibility with the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Additionally, it removes outdated references to enhanced 911 services and streamlines regulatory oversight of telecommunications providers in relation to emergency communication systems.
