Georgia coordinates next-generation 911 service

Georgia's emergency communications authority manages statewide deployment of next-generation 911 networks and enforces shared technical standards. It monitors network performance, coordinates cybersecurity, and manages mapping and emergency-call data. Planning must include local public safety needs and coordination with neighboring states, tribes, and federal agencies. The authority also seeks grants, offers shared purchasing, and explains the new system to the public and service providers. Georgia's Public Service Commission must encourage telephone companies to support timely implementation.

Local 911 plans need state confirmation

Beginning July 1, 2025, local governments need written state confirmation before starting a 911 system or expanding one to provide wireless enhanced or next-generation 911 service. The emergency communications authority cannot deny a plan that follows the required statewide guidelines and procedures. Written confirmation also applied to systems established or expanded from January 1, 2019, until July 1, 2025. These rules govern local governments, not household payments or applications.
