Requiring direct telephone access to 911 service.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring direct telephone access to 911 service

This law would require that, by May 1, 2019, existing multi-line telephone systems in certain businesses and City agencies have direct telephone access to 911, such that a prefix is not required prior to dialing 911. New multi-line phone systems within such agencies and businesses must be pre-configured to directly dial 911. This law would also require that each such telephone system be configured to provide notification of a central location for which emergency personnel can respond to a 911 call placed on the telephone system.
