A. To the extent permitted by law, the commission shall administer and regulate the
assignment of three digit telephone numbers to protect the integrity of the emergency
numbering system. The requirements of this subsection do not apply to federally licensed
wireless telephone communications.

B. The three digit telephone number 911 is specifically reserved for exclusive use
as an emergency telephone number for accessing police, fire and emergency medical
services.

C. Except as provided in subsection D, a person, business, corporation or
government entity shall not deny or restrict access to a 911 telephone number or system.

D. The commission may allow, on a case by case basis, a business, corporation or
government entity to remain noncompliant with subsection C if it would be excessively
burdensome or not in the overall best interest of an appropriate police, fire or
emergency medical response if the business, corporation or government entity were
required to comply.
