This bill mandates the Department of Safety to create and maintain a repository of maps that detail the locations of radio systems used by municipal, county, and state government entities across the state. The Department is tasked with collecting these maps from every level of local and state government and ensuring that they are regularly updated to keep the repository current and accurate. The bill also requires the Department to work collaboratively with these entities to efficiently gather the necessary information and updates.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the repository should be accessible to all municipalities, counties, state agencies, and other stakeholders involved in emergency services and public safety communication. It allows local governments to use the repository to improve their radio systems and identify areas with insufficient radio coverage. Additionally, the Department of Safety is to provide guidance on how to use the repository upon request. The bill does not include any insertions or deletions of legal language from current law. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an effective date of October 1, 2024.
