House Bill 122, also known as Senate Bill 1301, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 4-3-2018, concerning the P25 interoperable communications system. The bill establishes that the Tennessee Advanced Communications Network (TACN) is the division within the Department of Safety responsible for the operation, maintenance, and oversight of this statewide communications system.

Additionally, the bill grants the department the authority to create rules regarding access to the P25 system, which includes the ability to collect fees and assessments for its maintenance, use, and improvement. All fees and assessments collected will be classified as expendable receipts for the department, specifically designated for the ongoing support of the P25 interoperable communications system. This act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing its importance for public welfare.
