Bill Summary
AN ACT To improve the instant messaging service used by the National Weather Service, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the National Weather Service Communications Improvement Act, aims to improve the instant messaging service used by the National Weather Service (NWS). Specifically, it requires the Director of the NWS to implement a commercial off-the-shelf communications solution by October 1, 2027 that replaces the existing "NWSChat" service. The new solution must be hosted on the public cloud, accommodate future growth, perform well with increased users, be easy to use, and be similar to systems already in commercial use. The bill states that funds to carry out these improvements can only come from amounts already authorized to be appropriated to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration before the enactment of this Act.
