HB 1840-S - DIGEST |
(DIGEST OF PROPOSED 1ST SUBSTITUTE) |
Finds public safety would be enhanced by a common information sharing system for reporting that would: (1) Provide a visual, computer-based common operating picture for all decision makers in the event of an emergency; |
(2) Reduce the need for radio frequency bandwidth for voice communications; |
(3) Allow emergency responders and incident management teams to take action based on an understanding of the emergency situation; and |
(4) Allow for redundant pathway capabilities, which would increase the robustness of the state's communications system. |
Requires the state interoperability executive committee to establish a pilot project to design and test a web-based reporting system. This program shall be developed in conjunction with the proposed interoperability project for region 1 to prepare security for the 2010 Olympic Games. |
Provides that, by December 1, 2008, the state interoperability executive committee shall submit a report to the legislature and the governor, indicating performance measures and effectiveness of the pilot project and recommendations for its possible expanded utilization. |
Provides that the act shall be null and void if appropriations are not approved. |
