Summary

911 Modernization and Public Safety Act of 2007 - Amends the IP-Enabled Voice Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999 to impose on IP-enabled voice service providers engaged in interstate communication a requirement to provide 911 service, including E-911 (enhanced 911) service, to its subscribers. Allows a state or tribal fee for 911 or E-911 services to be used only for such services, related enhancements, or other emergency communications services. Amends the National Telecommunications and Information Administration Organization Act to require grants for migration to an IP-enabled emergency network. Requires the E-911 Implementation Coordination Office to develop a national plan for migrating to a national IP-enabled emergency network. Authorizes the FCC to compile a list of PSAP contact information or other information on necessary 911 components to assist providers in complying with this paragraph. Allows the FCC to make any part of that information available to the public to improve public safety. Amends the Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999 to require, for IP-enabled voice service carriers, IP-enabled voice users of 911 communications, and public safety answering points (facilities designated to receive 911 calls and route them to emergency personnel) (PSAPs), parity in liability protection with local exchange companies, non-wireless 911 service users, and non-wireless PSAPs, respectively. Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to authorize a telecommunications carrier to use, disclose, or permit access to call location information in emergencies. Requires IP-enabled voice service providers to provide subscriber list information to emergency service providers. Prohibits telecommunications carriers and IP-enabled voice service providers that provide emergency communications services from using information in or from automatic location information databases and master street address guides for any purpose other than providing emergency services.
