TMA Member Legislative Update

September 10, 2025 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Join TMA Government Relations Committee Co-chairs James Marcella and Tommy Whisnant for the second in a new series of quarterly webinars designed to keep you and your team informed of state and federal legislation that may impact your business. Each quarter will offer a high-level update on various issues of significance, as well as provide a more in-depth analysis of a single legislative issue.

James and Tommy will share general information on key issues on the state and federal level confronting our businesses currently. 

Deep Dive Issue: FCC’s Discontinuance NPRM

This presentation will take a deeper dive into FCC’s Discontinuance NPRM. On July 25, 2025 the FCC issued a proposed rulemaking to streamline and/or eliminate discontinuance rules which currently protect customers from harm when their local carriers— like Verizon— discontinue basic services in order to modernize networks (or in some cases improve profits).

Since the alarm industry relies on local communications in order to connect customers to central stations, the lax regulation of carrier discontinuances raises distinct issues of life safety, both for home invasions and fire and health monitoring protection.

The current rule making proposes to make it easier for carriers like Verizon and ATT. The potential changes could bring drastic results from almost no notice of carrier discontinuance.

Make sure your team is in-the-know and prepared to take action to protect your company and your customers - register now to take part in this quarter's Legislative Update.

Speakers:

  • James Marcella, Co-chair, TMA Government Relations Committee
  • Tommy Whisnant, Co-chair, TMA Government Relations Committee
  • Sascha Kylau, Co-Chair, AICC
