Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 802 amends provisions of the Emergency Communication District Act that are applicable to a county with a population of 860,000 or more in which such a district was created before 1988 under a specified 1984 law. The bill adds telephone service requirements to enable local public safety entities to better pinpoint the location from which a 9-1-1 call has originated in situations in which multiple tenants at the same complex share a single telephone system or in which a single entity with offices dispersed physically among multiple addresses or building floors shares a consolidated telephone system. Additionally, a hotel or motel that does not have a telephone operator continually on-site is required to use a system that enables automatic pinpointing by individual hotel or motel room. The bill applies only to a telecommunications system installed on or after the effective date. It amends associated liability provisions.
