AI Summary
This bill, the National Weather Service Communications Improvement Act, aims to upgrade the communications system used by the National Weather Service (NWS). Specifically, it requires the Director of the NWS to implement a commercial off-the-shelf cloud-based communications solution to replace the current system, known as "NWSChat." The bill authorizes $3 million per year from fiscal years 2023 to 2026 to fund this upgrade, which is intended to better accommodate future growth and increased numbers of users.
