Upgrade the national emergency response system to support modern digital communication technologies.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Next Generation 9–1–1 Act?
The effort to upgrade the national emergency system remains stalled in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce as of June 16, 2026. The full committee must decide whether to advance the bill, but most legislation fails because committees choose not to act on them. While S. 4062 was referred to a Senate committee on March 10, 2026, the lack of progress on H.R. 6505 since January 14, 2026, reflects the common difficulty of moving bills through the legislative process.
