The E911 Modernization Amendment Act of 2025 revises the Emergency and Non-Emergency Number Telephone Calling Systems Fund Act of 2000. It introduces a $1.00 tax on providers enabling 911 calls, updates definitions for terms like "local exchange service" and "access line," and mandates comprehensive reviews of the 911 system every three years. The act also establishes a new service fee on telecommunications services to support the District's emergency communications system, including call routing, technology upgrades, staffing, and operations.
