These laws aim to ensure that people in hotels, office buildings, dorms and other places with multi-line telephone systems (MLTS) can quickly contact emergency services in a crisis and that emergency responders have the information and access needed to reach them as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>If your organization relies on an MLTS, here\u2019s an overview of everything you should know about these new rules and what you can do to make sure that your business doesn\u2019t break them.<\/p>\n<h2>Kari\u2019s Law and its Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>In 2013, Kari Hunt Dunn was murdered by her estranged husband in a hotel room in Texas. Kari\u2019s daughter was there during the attack and attempted to dial 911, but she couldn\u2019t get through because she didn\u2019t realize the hotel phone required guests to dial \u201c9\u201d before making external calls, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/news-events\/podcast\/personal-story-behind-karis-law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">Federal Communications Commission (FCC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Following Kari\u2019s death, her father, Hank Hunt, worked with federal lawmakers to enact a law requiring MLTS to allow people to directly dial 911. Kari\u2019s Law was officially signed in 2018, and it will apply to all MLTS imported, manufactured, first sold or leased, offered for first sale or lease, or installed on or after Feb. 16, 2020, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.fcc.gov\/public\/attachments\/DOC-358435A1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">the FCC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Kari\u2019s Law applies to any \u201cperson engaged in the business of manufacturing, importing, selling, or leasing\u201d MLTS, as well as any \u201cperson engaged in the business of installing, managing, or operating\u201d that type of phone system, the FCC states.<\/p>\n<p>The law requires the following:<\/p>\n<p>1. Allow users to dial 911 directly, without an access code or prefix such as \u201c9\u201d needed to connect with outside lines.<\/p>\n<p>2. Send a notification to a central location (e.g., a security office or the front desk of the building) whenever someone calls 911.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, the FCC <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.fcc.gov\/public\/attachments\/DOC-358435A1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">officially adopted rules<\/a> to implement the direct dialing and notification regulations included in Kari\u2019s Law. The Commission clarified that the notification should include the fact that a 911 call was made, the same location information relayed in the call to emergency services, and a valid callback number \u2013 with exceptions for the callback number and location info if including them isn\u2019t technically feasible. Additionally, the notification must occur at the same time as the 911 call but cannot delay the call.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission also specified that this law applies not only to traditional MLTS but also to Internet Protocol-based systems, including cloud phone systems.<\/p>\n<h2>RAY BAUM\u2019S Act and its Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>RAY BAUM\u2019S Act was also signed into law in 2018. It required the FCC to \u201cconclude a proceeding to consider adopting rules to ensure that the dispatchable location is conveyed with a 9-1-1 call, regardless of the technological platform used,\u201d according to the FCC.<\/p>\n<p>RAY BAUM\u2019S Act defines a dispatchable location as \u201cthe street address of the calling party, and additional information such as room number, floor number, or similar information necessary to adequately identify the location of the calling party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simultaneously with the adoption of rules to implement Kari\u2019s Law, the FCC also adopted dispatchable location stipulations for MLTS and services capable of dialing 911 that aren\u2019t already subject to dispatchable location requirements, including mobile texting, interconnected VoIP services, fixed telephony, and Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS).<\/p>\n<p>These location requirements apply to the same entities affected by the direct dialing and notification rules included in Kari\u2019s Law. That means legacy MLTS (those not imported, manufactured, first sold or leased, offered for first sale or lease, or installed on or after Feb. 16, 2020) don\u2019t have to comply.<\/p>\n<h2>What the New Laws Mean for Your Business<\/h2>\n<p>Your organization needs to adhere to these regulations if you plan on getting a new phone system on or after Feb. 16. In terms of upgrades, the FCC declined to specify in its Report and Order the level of improvements to a legacy MLTS that would necessitate compliance with Kari\u2019s Law (and by extension, RAY BAUM\u2019s Act) \u2013 although the Commission did express disagreement with the idea that any improvements, even small ones, should make an MLTS subject to Kari\u2019s Law. The FCC agreed to address this issue \u201cin response to a specific fact pattern, should one arise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like more detailed information about the implementation of Kari\u2019s Law and RAY BAUM\u2019S Act, the FCC Report and Order is <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.fcc.gov\/public\/attachments\/DOC-358435A1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Failing to comply with the new 911 rules for MLTS could result in fines and other penalties, so the Converged Communication Systems (CCS) team strongly recommends that you act to ensure compliance. Even if you have a legacy phone system that isn\u2019t subject to these laws, you\u2019ll have to adhere to these regulations when you get a new system.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to update your current system to facilitate emergency response in a crisis, our engineers can review your current 911 setup.
