Advanced, Local Emergency Response Telecommunications Parity Act

Advanced, Local Emergency Response Telecommunications Parity Act or the ALERT Parity Act

This bill requires the Federal Communications Commission to facilitate the provision of emergency communication services (e.g., 9-1-1 calls and emergency alerts) in unserved areas. An unserved area is one that has no commercial mobile service capable of providing emergency services because of a lack of infrastructure, destruction of infrastructure, a power outage, or other reason.
