The bill establishes new requirements for the reporting of 911 outages by service suppliers who manage communications equipment essential for 911 emergency reporting systems. Specifically, it mandates that these suppliers report any service interruptions that significantly impact emergency communications, as dictated by rules set forth by the public service commission. This aims to enhance the reliability and accountability of emergency 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, making the reporting requirement ongoing. It also authorizes the Wyoming public service commission to work with governing bodies and the Wyoming public safety communications commission to create a standardized statement of revenues and expenditures. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
