Senate Adopts
Amendment to Upgrade E9-1-1 Technology. September
14, 2005
The U.S. Senate adopted an amendment offered by Senator
Hillary Clinton (D-NY), one of the co-chairs of the
Congressional E9-1-1 Caucus, that will provide $5 million
in grants that were authorized under the ENHANCE 911 Act.
Her amendment was added to the fiscal year 2006
Appropriations Bill for the Departments of Commerce,
State, and Justice. If it survives the
final conference report, it will be the first
funding available for PSAPs to upgrade their technology to
provide E9-1-1.
