Bill Summary

CONCERNING INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE ACCESS IN LOCAL EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill requires the University of Colorado's Natural Hazards Center to conduct a study to determine what municipalities, sheriff's offices, counties, fire districts, and local 911 agencies need to provide emergency alerts in minority languages and live interpretation during 911 calls by July 1, 2024. The study will identify the essential components of multi-hazard early warning systems, survey state agencies to identify the current capabilities of existing emergency alert systems, and determine best practices for hiring multilingual staff and engaging with local community organizations. The bill also appropriates $77,009 to the Department of Higher Education to implement the study.
