The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6649, aims to establish a working group tasked with studying the current system of public safety answering points (PSAPs) in the state. The working group will be convened by the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection and will focus on making recommendations for the consolidation of these answering points. A key priority of the group will be to ensure that public safety remains paramount throughout the process.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to formalize the establishment of the working group and its objectives. The intent is to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of public safety communication systems while maintaining a strong commitment to public safety.
