A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION IN A 911 DATABASE OBTAINED FROM A TELEPHONE COMPANY IS CONFIDENTIAL IF REQUIRED BY THE AGREEMENT OBTAINING THE INFORMATION.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Chapter 132 of the General Statutes is amended by adding a new section to read:
"§ 132-1.5.  911 database.
Automatic number identification and automatic location identification information that consists of the name, address, and telephone numbers of telephone subscribers which is contained in a county 911 database is confidential and is not a public record as defined by Chapter 132 of the General Statutes if that information is required to be confidential by the agreement with the telephone company by which the information was obtained.  Dissemination of the information contained in the 911 automatic number and automatic location database is prohibited except on a call-by-call basis only for the purpose of handling emergency calls or for training, and any permanent record of the information shall be secured by the public safety answering points and disposed of in a manner which will retain that security except as otherwise required by applicable law."
Section 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
