Summary

Kari's Law Act of 2017 This bill amends the Communications Act of 1934 to prohibit businesses from manufacturing or importing for use in the United States, or selling or leasing in the United States, a multi-line telephone system unless it can be installed to: (1) allow 9-1-1 calls to be transmitted to the appropriate public safety answering point without requiring the user to dial any additional digit, code, prefix, or post-fix (including any trunk-access code such as the digit "9"), regardless of what a user is required to dial for other calls; and (2) provide on-site notifications (if possible without any improvement to the system) so that when a person at the facility where the system is installed initiates a 9-1-1 call, the system notifies a central location at the facility or a person or organization with responsibility for safety or security for the location. Businesses are prohibited from installing multi-line telephone systems unless, upon installation, they allow 9-1-1 calls to be initiated without dialing such additional codes. Installers must configure such systems to provide such on-site notifications.
