        Introduced  by  COMMITTEE  ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Steck) --
          read once and referred to the Committee on Local Governments
 
        AN ACT to amend the  general  municipal  law,  in  relation  to  certain
          requirements for telecommunications system contracts
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. The general municipal  law  is  amended  by  adding  a  new
     2  section 109-e to read as follows:
     3    §  109-e. Telecommunications system requirements.  1. For the purposes
     4  of this section, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
     5    (a) "Coverage" shall mean that there are no dropped calls due to  lack
     6  of  cellular  service  or  there  are no areas where cellular service is
     7  compromised and/or unavailable.
     8    (b) "Telecommunications system" shall mean all facilities owned, oper-
     9  ated or used by a telecommunications systems company to provide services
    10  located within the boundaries of the state, authority or municipality.
    11    (c) "Voice service" shall mean any service that is interconnected with
    12  the public switched telephone network and that furnishes voice  communi-
    13  cations to an end user using resources from the North American Numbering
    14  Plan  or  any  successor to the North American Numbering Plan adopted by
    15  the public service commission under section 251(e)(1)  of  the  Communi-
    16  cations Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 251(e)(1)); and includes:
    17    (i)  transmissions  from  a  telephone facsimile machine, computer, or
    18  other device to a telephone facsimile machine; and
    19    (ii) without limitation, any service that enables  real-time,  two-way
    20  voice  communications,  including  any  service  that  requires internet
    21  protocol-compatible customer premises equipment  and  permits  out-bound
    22  calling,  whether  or  not  the service is one-way or two-way voice over
    23  internet protocol.
    24    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, where a
    25  land lease agreement between a telecommunications  systems  company  and
    26  municipality  provides for the operation of a telecommunications system,
    27  such telecommunications systems company's voice  service  shall  provide
    28  coverage of emergency 911.
    29    §  2.  This  act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
    30  have become a law.
