Is Your Phone System In Compliance With Kari\u2019s Law And Ray Baum\u2019s Act, Ours Is!<\/h2>\n

By Bruce G. Kreeger, President \/ CTO<\/p>\n

Kari\u2019s Law and Ray Baum\u2019s Act require all multi-line phone systems in the U.S. (like those found in hotels and offices) to enable direct dial to 9-1-1, direct routing to a 911 center, and on-site notification of a 9-1-1 call that includes a detailed \u201cdispatchable location\u201d to decrease response time. Signed in 2018, the laws go into effect starting on\u00a0February 16, 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Kari\u2019s Law amends the original Telecommunications Act of 1934 as well as its overhaul in 1996. The bill has transformed emergency communications by mandating that public safety be built into every aspect of a telephone system. Kari\u2019s Law makes it so that every person can easily call for help and be easily located by emergency services.<\/p>\n

What Is Kari\u2019s Law?<\/h4>\n

What Are The Requirements?<\/h4>\n

Kari\u2019s Law is named after Kari Hunt, who was tragically murdered in her hotel room in 2013 after multiple failed attempts by her daughter to dial 9-1-1. Medical examiners agree that had her daughter been able to reach emergency services, Kari would have survived the attack. The law is designed to ensure that anyone, anywhere can reach emergency services and that critical location data is provided with that call.<\/p>\n

Kari\u2019s Law<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Ray Baum\u2019s Act<\/a>\u00a0require multi-line telephone systems to provide:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Direct dial to 9-1-1 with no prefixes<\/li>\n
  2. Direct routing to 9-1-1<\/li>\n
  3. On-site notification of a 9-1-1 call being made, with a \u201cdispatchable location\u201d conveyed (for example, which floor of an office building a worker is on or which classroom a student is calling from)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition to facing potentially devastating civil liabilities should a tragedy occur, businesses that fail to comply with the law risk fines and may be subject to additional penalties for each day they remain non-compliant. With Kari\u2019s Law now included within the amended Communications Act, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has the power to enforce the rules, assign judgments, and collect penalties.<\/p>\n
