Tomorrow, the House Energy and Commerce Committee will hold a markup on H.R. 7386, the “First Responder Network Authority Reauthorization Act,” which would reauthorize the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) through 2037. FirstNet is an indispensable, nationwide public safety communications network trusted by public safety for its proven reliability and resiliency. The legislation, however, proposes several changes that will hinder FirstNet’s primary objectives and introduce uncertainties that will jeopardize emergency operations, community protection, and public safety.
