SB 5749-S - DIGEST

(DIGEST OF PROPOSED 1ST SUBSTITUTE)

Finds that the current law applying to enhanced 911 service on multiline telephone systems is based on old technology, and that the law should be annually reviewed and updated to allow the deployment of new technologies.

Encourages the adjutant general, in consultation with the state enhanced 911 coordinator, the state fire protection board, and other interested parties, to annually review new technologies that relate to RCW 80.36.560. If the adjutant general determines that this section should be amended to incorporate new technologies, a recommendation to the legislature shall be made. The adjutant general shall report the recommendations to the legislature sixty days before the start of any regular legislative session.
