NASEMSO Joins Public Safety Orgs to Applaud Introduction of LIFT America Act

March 12, 2021

As a member of the Public Safety NG911 Coalition, NASEMSO added its support to ensure the inclusion of NG911 in new legislation intended to upgrade our nation’s outdated, underfunded, and technologically inadequate 911 infrastructure.  All 32 Democratic members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee recently introduced the Leading Infrastructure For Tomorrow’s America Act, or LIFT America Act. The sweeping legislation will modernize the nation’s infrastructure, rebuild the economy, combat climate change, and protect public health and the environment. The legislation invests more than $312 billion in clean energy, energy efficiency, drinking water, broadband, and health care infrastructure.  A section-by-section of the bill is available HERE. The LIFT America Act bill text is available HERE.
