STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER JESSICA ROSENWORCEL
ON INTRODUCTION OF NEXT GENERATION 9-1-1 ACT of 2017
WASHINGTON, November 2, 2017. — FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel released 
the following statement regarding the introduction of the Next Generation 9-1-1 Act of 2017: 
“Today, roughly 240 million calls are made each year to 911. But like so much else, we need to 
remake our 911 services to reflect the digital age we live in. The future will bring Next 
Generation 9-1-1 to call centers to support voice, text, data and video communications. But to get 
there, we need strong coordination, a focused effort, and real leadership.  So kudos to Senator 
Nelson and Senator Klobuchar for introducing the Next Generation 9-1-1 Act of 2017.”
