9-1-1 phone law to go into effect Sept. 1

A new law in Texas will give a little more time when seconds count. Senate Bill 788, also known as Kari’s Law, requires owners of multi-line telephone systems to provide direct dial access to 9-1-1. Multi-line phone systems are found most commonly in hospitals, schools, hotels and small and large companies. Phone users will no longer have to dial an additional digit such as “9” before getting an outside line when dialing 9-1-1. Phone line providers have until Sept. 1 to comply with the law.
