This bill reauthorizes the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) and modifies its operations. It shifts oversight of FirstNet from an independent agency to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), requiring the NTIA to approve FirstNet’s actions. The bill also mandates specific actions from the FirstNet contractor, including rapid outage notifications and regular business continuity plans, and requires annual reporting to Congress on FirstNet’s performance and cybersecurity. Finally, it establishes a timeline for Congress to consider terminating the FirstNet Authority after 2037.
