(1) the release of subscriber information related to emergency calls or emergency services;
(2) the use or provision of 911 services, E911 services, or Next Generation 911 services; and
(3) other matters related to 911 services, E911 services, or Next Generation 911 services.
(b) Scope of immunity and protection from liability The scope and extent of the immunity and protection from liability afforded under subsection (a) shall be the same as that provided under section 615a of this title to wireless carriers, public safety answering points, and users of wireless 911 service (as defined in paragraphs (4), (3), and (6), respectively, of section 615b of this title 11 See References in Text note below.) with respect to such release, use, and other matters.

## Notes
Editorial Notes
References in TextSection 615b of this title, referred to in subsec. (b), was in the original a reference to section 6 of the Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999, Pub. L. 10681, and was translated as if it had been a reference to section 7 of Pub. L. 10681, which is classified to section 615b of this title, to reflect the probable intent of Congress and the renumbering of section 6 of Pub. L. 10681 as section 7 by Pub. L. 110283, title I, § 101(1), July 23, 2008, 122 Stat. 2620. Pub. L. 110283, title I, § 101(3), July 23, 2008, 122 Stat. 2620 enacted a new section 6 of the Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999 which is classified to section 215a1 of this title, but that section does not contain definitions.
