KARI'S LAW
Kari's Law is a US federal regulation requiring multi-line telephone systems (MLTS) in places like hotels and offices to allow for direct 911 dialing without requiring an access code, such as dialing "9," before the emergency number. The law also mandates that these systems notify a central point within the organization of an ongoing 911 call, along with the caller's location.
