This bill establishes new responsibilities for the Department of Information Technology regarding the digital trunked radio communications system. Beginning December 1, 2026, the department is required to submit an annual written report to the legislative finance committee detailing the subscriber fees and user statistics for the upcoming fiscal year. This new reporting requirement aims to enhance transparency and oversight of the system's financial aspects.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $2,800,000 from the general fund to the Department of Information Technology for the fiscal year 2026 and subsequent years. These funds are designated to cover the subscriber fees for the digital trunked radio communications system, specifically benefiting municipal, county, and tribal public safety agencies that provide essential services such as law enforcement, fire, and medical assistance. Importantly, any unspent funds at the end of a fiscal year will not revert to the general fund, allowing for continued support of these services.
