C. Except as provided in subsection D, a person, business, corporation or government entity shall not deny or restrict access to a 911 telephone number or system.
D. The commission may allow, on a case by case basis, a business, corporation or government entity to remain noncompliant with subsection C if it would be excessively burdensome or not in the overall best interest of an appropriate police, fire or emergency medical response if the business, corporation or government entity were required to comply.
