## Summary

**Nationwide framework for Next Generation 9-1-1** to coordinate, fund, and secure upgrades that let 9-1-1 centers handle multimedia, share data, and strengthen cybersecurity across States, Tribes, and localities. - Local, State, and Tribal emergency communications centers would be eligible for grants to implement and maintain NG9-1-1 systems, including cybersecurity and public outreach. Training costs are capped at 3% for non‑Tribes and 5% for Tribes while documented administrative costs are capped at 1% and 2% respectively. - Tribal governments get the same coordination and interoperability requirements as States and may use the higher training and admin caps; recipients must establish sustainable funding within 3 years and false or failed certifications can force repayment and bar future grants. - The Assistant Secretary at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration would run the grant program, publish a management plan within 180 days, and issue grant selection rules within 1 year. A 16‑member advisory board would advise on deployment and cybersecurity and appropriations are authorized for 2027–2031 with administrative costs capped at 4%.
