I looked it up just to verify. There is no such law. Also, now that you mention it, that seems like an odd thing to legislate as a 911 on the phone is not advising based on all the facts and the facts change very quickly - often quicker than they can be clearly and completely communicated. Additionally, communication is almost always unclear as one person is often panicked and dealing with multiple things at once. From a legal standpoint, it seems this would open up a dept to an insane degree of legal liability. I can't see something like that even happening... would be interesting to see how it would be worded.
