Congressional NextGen 9-1-1 Caucus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Congressional NextGen 9-1-1 Caucus, a United States Congress caucus, works to improve the 9-1-1 phone system and emergency response systems.[1] The caucus was headed by Senators Richard Burr (R-NC) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Representatives Dan Bishop (R-NC) and Anna Eshoo (D-CA) in 2022.
The caucus was formed on February 25, 2003, by Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT), Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Congressman John Shimkus (R-IL) and Congresswoman Eshoo.[2] The original name of the caucus was the "Congressional E9-1-1 Caucus". It was formed to "educate lawmakers, constituents and communities about the importance of citizen-activated emergency response systems".[3]
On February 16, 2011, the caucus was registered as an official organization for the 112th Congress.[3] The name was changed to the NextGen 9-1-1 Caucus.[1]
