MO HB1349

Telecommunications carriers and commercial mobile service providers must provide call location information to law enforcement in emergency situations involving danger of death or serious physical injury.

Carriers and service providers are immune from lawsuits for providing emergency location information, assisting law enforcement in emergency situations, or for communication service disruptions during emergencies, except in cases of gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct.

Telecommunications companies may be exempted from state retail service rules that duplicate federal FCC requirements, such as customer proprietary network information, slamming prevention, and cramming rules, by providing written notice to the commission.

Telecommunications companies are exempt from most state regulatory duties for retail services but must continue complying with emergency location information requirements, universal service fund obligations, and federal interconnection requirements.

Broadband and internet protocol-enabled services are not subject to state regulation, except for interconnected voice over internet protocol services, which remain subject to section 392.550.
