The committee reported House passage of a telecom package to strengthen emergency communications. It described H.R. 7386 as reauthorizing FirstNet and updating the law for advanced technology investments, H.R. 7022 as enabling satellite emergency alerts where terrestrial cell coverage is unavailable, and H.R. 5200 as improving 911 outage data and recommendations for reliability and resiliency.
Assessments
Allen materially supported federal legislation addressing communications-network modernization and emergency alert reliability, including FirstNet reauthorization, satellite emergency alerts, broadband deployment, and 911 outage reporting. The measures advanced through House passage in 2026, satisfying the promise to support modernization even though the cited delivery occurred in a later term.
