   Legislation set up an independent authority (FirstNet) to create a   
   nationwide broadband network for first responders, such as police   
   officers and firefighters. FirstNet contracted with AT&T to deploy the   
   network, which will be fully operational in 2023.   
      
   But this law terminates FirstNet's authority in 2027, and doesn't   
   identify another federal agency to oversee network operations or   
   updates. Without legislative action, the public-safety network will be   
   at risk and first responders could lose service.   
      
   Congress should consider reauthorizing FirstNet before the 2027 end   
   date to ensure network continuity.
