What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Military Affairs is responsible for

administering and overseeing the operation of the current, and a future, statewide

public safety interoperable communication system, which is a radio system that may

be used for emergency communication by public safety agencies, public works and

transportation agencies, hospitals, and volunteer emergency services agencies.

This bill creates a grant program to be administered by DMA which will provide

grants to local units of government that use the statewide public safety interoperable

communication system for system upgrades.
