If this bill were to become law, it would update current statutes by appropriating $500,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 specifically to the Department of Public Safety (DPS). This funding is designated for distribution to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Department (YCSO) to establish a pilot program that implements a redundant high-speed, low-latency satellite communication system.

The bill introduces new language that specifies the appropriation and its intended use, while the existing statutes remain unchanged. The new provisions clarify the financial allocation and the purpose of the funds, enhancing the capabilities of emergency communication systems within the state.
