Good news to report...on April 20, the House called up H.R. 7386, the First Responder Network Authority Reauthorization Act of 2026. Three Republican Members and one Democrat Member rose and spoke in favor of the bill. Ultimately, it passed on the House floor via voice vote with no one rising to oppose the legislation. The bill now moves to the Senate.

I've attached a stakeholder letter that IAEM signed in support of legislation to preserve the federal First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet).
