§ 5309. Telephone records.

(a) Access.--(Deleted by amendment).

(a.1) Access.--

(1) A 911 service provider with the ability to originate a 911 call shall provide customer telephone numbers, names, service addresses and geolocation information, where applicable, according to Federal regulations to PSAPs for use in responding to 911 calls.

(2) 911 service providers shall synchronize their customer 911 information with the PSAPs' GIS database layers used for geospatial call routing or with the master street address guide, whichever is applicable, by utilizing the ALI database management and discrepancy reporting systems provided by the NG911 service provider. If a 911 service provider's service location does not match the PSAPs' GIS data for address validation, the 911 service provider must provide the PSAP and appropriate addressing authority any known information about the service location.

(3) A wireless provider shall provide the telephone number and geographical location of the wireless device, as required under the FCC E-911 Order, 47 CFR (relating to telecommunication) and any other applicable Federal law, to PSAPs for use in responding to 911 calls. Customer telephone numbers, names and service addresses and geographical locations of wireless devices shall remain the property of the disclosing wireless provider.

(4) Wireless provider ALI data shall be provided to the PSAPs' selected 911 service provider for purposes of 911 call routing and delivery along with ALI delivery. ALI may be provided directly to the 911 service provider via routine uploads or via a third-party database provider interfaced with the 911 service providers' ALI database. ALI data shall be maintained by the wireless provider and made available to the 911 service provider as required to ensure accurate ALI information is provided to the PSAP.

(5) ALI data shall be provided to 911 service providers and emergency support services, solely for the purposes of delivering or assisting in the delivery of emergency notification services and emergency support services.

(6) The total cost of the 911 system shall include expenses to reimburse telephone service suppliers for providing and maintaining 911 information.

(7) A telephone service supplier shall not be reimbursed directly from the fund for providing and maintaining 911 information. This information shall be used only in providing emergency response services to a 911 call, synchronizing master street address guide, ALI and GIS data sets or for purposes of delivering or assisting in the delivery of emergency notification services or emergency support services. A person who uses or discloses ANI and ALI database information for purposes other than providing emergency response services to a 911 call, delivering or assisting in the delivery of emergency notification services, commits a misdemeanor of the third degree.

(b) Privacy waived.--Private listing service customers in a 911 service district shall waive the privacy afforded by nonlisted and nonpublished numbers with respect to the delivery of emergency services.

(c) Immunity.--(Deleted by amendment).
