9-1-1 Regulations:

Kari’s Law:

A statute that requires multi-line telephone systems (MLTS), which are typically used in office buildings, campuses and hotels, to provide direct 9-1-1 dialing and notification capabilities. The user must be able to call 9-1-1 without having to dial a prefix or access code. The phone system must also be configured to notify a central location (i.e., the front desk or security office) when a 9-1-1 call is made.

Ray Baum’s Act:

Requires all 9-1-1 calls to provide a “dispatchable location” to the dispatch centers, regardless of the technological platform used. A dispatchable location contains a validated street address of the caller, plus additional information such as apartment or suite number which is necessary to identify the location of the caller.
