A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to reporting on the implementation of next generation 911

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

                     Section 1. Chapter 1 of title 10 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new section 10-173 to read as follows:

                     § 10-173 Next generation 911. a. As used in this section, the following terms have the following meanings:

Commissioner. The term “commissioner” means the commissioner of information technology and telecommunications.

                     Next Generation 911. The term “next generation 911” means an internet protocol based system that allows digital information, including voice, photos, videos, and text messages, to be transmitted from the public to emergency responders in accordance with any national 911 program standards or guidelines applicable pursuant to federal or state law.

b. By no later than six months after the end of each fiscal year, the commissioner, in consultation with the police commissioner and fire commissioner, shall issue to the mayor and the council, and make publicly available online, a report on the implementation of next generation 911 within the 911 emergency assistance system. Such report shall contain (i) a description of the current implementation plan, including planned next steps, (ii) a description of steps taken towards implementation since the prior report, (iii) a description of the feasibility of implementing a 911 text message transmission capability before full implementation of next generation 911 and (iv) any other information the commissioner deems relevant.

c. Upon determining that next generation 911 has been fully implemented or that no further implementation will occur, the commissioner shall issue to the mayor and the council, and make publicly available online, a final report under subdivision b of this section and no further reports shall be required. Such final report shall include a conspicuous statement that it is a final report pursuant to this subdivision.

                     § 2.  This local law takes effect immediately and is deemed repealed six months after the final report required by subdivision c of section 10-173 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by this local law, is issued.
