I don't see Verizon in the list.  Does this mean they have no exceptions?
Probably, Verizon is one of the good ones...at least around here. Unfortunately it doesn't matter. When you call 911 the nearest/strongest tower picks up no matter the carrier. Fortunately T-Mobile has such crappy service you aren't likely to ping one of theirs unless you're on an interstate or in a big urban area. They cherry-pick. Even then you are getting triangulation which is much less accurate than the phone GPS and a few minutes might be the difference.

Bottom line is that the carriers should provide coordinates from both triangulation and GPS no matter what the signal strength. i.e. add another larger probability circle. The FCC tends to kiss corporate ass though.
