Telecommunications GAP Act

This bill would require the Comptroller General, who leads the Government Accountability Office, to send Congress a report on the Federal Communications Commission's Mandatory Disaster Response Initiative within 180 days of the law taking effect. The Initiative is a set of federal rules for mobile wireless providers during certain emergencies or disasters. The report would analyze how well the Initiative works overall and during the January 2025 California wildfires. It would also identify any failures in coverage, roaming, or provider coordination and offer recommendations.
