Kari's Law &
The Ray Baum's Act

Kari's Law Compliant

NEC is pleased to state that all of the company's communications systems have always supported a completely flexible dial plan. This means all currently supported NEC communications platforms are programmable to be compliant with Kari's Law without any need for software or hardware upgrades.

Kari's Law requires that all outbound dialing MLTS must provide direct access to 911 service without the caller having to dial an initial number, digit, prefix or other access number before dialing 911. While numerous states have their own version of Kari's Law, a nationwide version, H.R. 582 (115th): Kari's Law Act of 2017, was signed into law in 2018 and takes effect February 16, 2020. Kari's Law specially applies to 911 access and notification of a 911 call to a central location on the site of the facilities where a call is placed and to an optional additional location per Rule 251.15.

Due to NEC's foresight in supporting a flexible dial plan, customers can easily adapt to regulatory changes like Kari's Law.
