FL S1042

Allows 911 public safety telecommunicators to contact private owners of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and provide coronary emergency locations when a confirmed coronary emergency call occurs within reasonable distance of a registered AED.

Increases E911 Board membership from nine to eleven members and revises composition requirements, including adding one additional county 911 coordinator at-large representative and one competitive local exchange telecommunications company representative.

Requires voice communications service providers (other than wireless) to bill E911 fees based on the number of access lines up to 25 lines per account, with separate billing provisions for digital transmission links (5 service-identified access lines per link, up to 25 maximum per account).

Expands indemnification and liability protections to include voice communications services providers and other service providers offering 911 or E911 service on a retail or wholesale basis, protecting them from damages unless they act with malicious purpose or wanton and willful disregard.

Removes the requirement that the Florida Telephone Association recommend representatives to the Public Service Commission advisory committee, allowing the commission to appoint telecommunications company representatives directly.
