Title VII of the Communications Act of 1934 ( 47 U.S.C. 601 et seq. ) is amended by adding at the end the following: In this section, the term multi-line telephone system has the meaning given the term in section 6502 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 ( 47 U.S.C. 1471 ). A person engaged in the business of manufacturing, importing, selling, leasing, or installing multi-line telephone systems may not manufacture or import for use in the United States, sell or lease or offer to sell or lease in the United States, or install in the United States a multi-line telephone system unless the default configuration of the system allows a user to directly initiate a call to 9–1–1 from any station equipped with dialing facilities— without requiring the user to dial any additional digit, code, prefix, or post-fix, including any trunk-access code (such as the digit 9 ); and regardless of whether the user is required to dial such a digit, code, prefix, or post-fix for other calls.
A person engaged in the business of installing multi-line telephone systems, in installing a system described in paragraph (2), shall configure the system to provide a notification to a central location— at the facility where the system is installed; and when a person at the facility initiates a call to 9–1–1 using the system. A system described in this paragraph is a multi-line telephone system that is able to be configured to provide the notification described in paragraph
(1)without an improvement to the hardware of the system. This section shall be enforced under title V, except that section 501 applies only to the extent that the section provides for the imposition of a fine. . The amendment made by subsection
(a)shall apply with respect to a multi-line telephone system that is manufactured, imported, offered for first sale or lease, first sold or leased, or installed after the date that is 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act.
