The bill establishes new requirements for the reporting of 911 outages by service suppliers who manage communications equipment essential for the operation of 911 emergency reporting systems. Specifically, it mandates that any service interruption that materially affects emergency communications must be reported according to rules set by the public service commission. This aims to enhance the reliability and accountability of emergency communication services.

Additionally, the bill amends existing tax reporting requirements by changing the reporting period from "fiscal year" to "calendar year" and removes the previous end date of June 30, 2019, for these reports. It requires governing bodies to submit statements of gross receipts and expenditures to the Wyoming public service commission annually, starting January 1, 2015, and emphasizes the need for uniformity in reporting across different governing bodies by involving the Wyoming public safety communications commission in the rule-making process. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
