Bill > HR5201

This bill directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to publish a comprehensive report on the implementation of the Kari's Law Act of 2017 within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The report will focus on the enforcement of section 721 of the Communications Act of 1934, which relates to multi-line telephone systems (MLTS), such as those found in hotels, offices, and other large buildings. Specifically, the report must include an overview of how manufacturers and vendors of multi-line telephone systems have complied with the law, identify any challenges or obstacles they have encountered in implementing the requirements, suggest potential improvements to the FCC's enforcement policies, and provide recommendations for any additional legislation that might be needed to address issues similar to those covered by the original law. The bill is named the "Kari's Law Reporting Act" and aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the implementation of safety regulations for multi-line telephone systems, which are important for ensuring emergency calls can be effectively made from these systems.
