The bill establishes new requirements for emergency telephone service in Wyoming, specifically focusing on the reporting of 911 outages. It mandates that any service supplier responsible for communications equipment essential to the 911 emergency reporting system must report any service interruptions that significantly impact emergency communications. This requirement is to be enforced through rules set by the public service commission.

Additionally, the bill amends existing law regarding the reporting of revenues and expenditures related to the 911 service tax. It changes the reporting period from a fiscal year to a calendar year and removes the previous end date of June 30, 2019, making the reporting requirement ongoing. The Wyoming public service commission is tasked with creating uniform reporting standards in collaboration with governing bodies and the Wyoming public safety communications commission. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
