Will the verification procedures used by the alarm monitoring companies before notifying the PSAP change?

The proposed standard has no affect on the procedures, policies and local/state regulations that govern verification procedures.  It is “business as usual” on the part of the alarm monitoring company operator until the operator concludes that the PSAP must be notified to generate a first responder dispatch.  The difference at that point is the delivery of the new alarm event to the PSAP electronically instead of via a telephone call.
