SENATE BILL NO. 215 "An Act relating to multi-line telephone systems." 3:21:31 PM Co-Chair Seaton noted that the committee had been in the middle of consideration on Amendment 1 during at the end of the morning meeting. Representative Tilton MOVED to ADOPT Amendment 1, 30- LS1455\D.1 (Nauman, 4/11/18) (copy on file). Representative Kawasaki OBJECTED for discussion. Representative Tilton addressed the amendment. She WITHDREW Amendment 1. 3:24:10 PM Representative Wilson asked about the multi-line telephone system. She explained her understanding. Representative Grenn deferred to staff for the definition. JORDAN SHILLING, STAFF, SENATOR JOHN COGHILL, explained that multi-lines telephone lines were defined of Page 4 of the legislation. 3:27:17 PM DAVID GIBBS, EMS MANAGER, FAIRBANKS NORTH STAR BOROUGH (via teleconference), clarified that the type of telephone line that Representative Wilson was referring to was called "Key" telephone systems that would not require additional costs to small businesses. Representative Wilson asked if upgrades to a Key telephone system would fall under new requirements. Mr. Gibbs responded that the only system that would result in addition expense to small business would be the PBX system, which would require the purchase of a system telephone switch and was generally reserved for very large corporations. Co-Chair Seaton clarified what the committee was trying to establish a definition for "multi-line phone system". He asked if one phone, with two lines, was considered a multi- line phone system. 3:30:03 PM Mr. Gibbs answered that a business with a two-phone line system would be so small that the location associated with either line would be accurate; ensuring that correct address information was provided when signing up for service would not cause additional cost. Representative Thompson understood that if he called 911 from his office in the Capitol, the call would be identified as coming from room 500 in the building; however, if the building had a switchboard system (one number for all offices) the physical address of where the call was coming form would be undetermined. 3:31:39 PM Mr. Gibbs responded that regarding the switchboard, essentially a key telephone system, would need to be updated to reflect the location of the call. 3:32:41 PM Representative Wilson maintained confusion about the definitions of the various systems. 3:33:31 PM Vice-Chair Gara reviewed the previously published fiscal note #1 from the Department of Commerce and Community Development. Representative Wilson spoke to Page 2 of the note: The bill mandates that an operator of a multi-line system that does not allow for direct 911 dialing and is not required by ordinance to install enhances 911, posts a prominent notice instructing callers how to reach 911. She wondered how many businesses would be affected by the mandate and how the post-able notices would be distributed. Mr. Schilling relayed that the structure of the notifications was in the bill on Page 4, line 4: (d) The operator of a multi-line telephone system that is not required by ordinance to comply with this section and that does not allow for direct 911 dialing shall post, in a visible place not more than five feet from each telephone that is connected to the multi- line telephone system, a notice that (1) states that 911 services cannot be accessed by dialing 911 directly 9 on the telephone; (2) indicates how a caller may access 911 services through the telephone; (3) is printed in contrasting colors in a bold font not smaller than 16 points; (4) includes the following information, as applicable, about the location of the telephone: (A) the street address and business name; (B) the office, unit, or building number; (C) the room number or equivalent designation. 3:35:24 PM Representative Wilson understood that businesses would be responsible for creating and posting the signage. Mr. Shilling replied in the affirmative. 3:35:51 PM Vice-Chair Gara MOVED to report SB 215 out of Committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal note. There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered. SB 215 was REPORTED out of committee with a "do pass" recommendation and with a previously published zero fiscal note: FN1 (CED). 3:36:49 PM AT EASE 3:38:22 PM RECONVENED
