For Immediate Release
STATEMENT OF FCC COMMISSIONER AJIT PAI
On Passage of Kari’s Law by U.S. House of Representatives
WASHINGTON, May 24, 2016.—I applaud the U.S. House of Representatives for passing Kari’s Law 
(H.R. 4167) last night.  The passage of this legislation is due first and foremost to the courageous 
leadership that Hank Hunt, Kari’s father, has shown in drawing attention to this critical issue.  If enacted, 
Kari’s Law will help ensure that every call to 911 directly connects those in need with emergency 
personnel who can help.  I hope that the U.S. Senate moves quickly to pass the companion legislation 
introduced by Senators Deb Fischer, Amy Klobuchar, John Cornyn, Ted Cruz, and Brian Schatz and that 
this common-sense, bipartisan public safety measure soon becomes law.
