NENA applauds this pivotal legislation to reauthorize the Federal Communications Commission’s spectrum-auction authority and set aside $14.8 billion in auction revenue to fund Next Generation 9-1-1 deployments nationwide. Funding Next Generation 9-1-1 is one of the most important steps Congress can take to improve our nation’s emergency-communications infrastructure and keep Americans safe. NENA is excited to see this important legislation move out of committee and looks forward to working with both houses of Congress and the White House to see it enacted as quickly as possible.
NENA thanks Chairwoman Rogers, Ranking Member Pallone, and Representatives Hudson, Eshoo, Matsui, and Latta for their leadership on advancing public safety.
