Bill Summary
General Description: This bill requires the Department of Public Safety to fund public safety answering points operated by the department in certain counties.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Utah Department of Public Safety to fund the ongoing operational costs of public safety answering points (PSAPs) located in fourth, fifth, or sixth class counties. PSAPs are communication centers that answer and route emergency calls to the appropriate first responders, such as police, fire, or medical services. The bill specifically mandates that the department pay for PSAPs maintained by its bureau under Section 53-10-502, which likely refers to a specific emergency communication division. The legislation is designed to provide financial support for emergency communication infrastructure in smaller, less populated counties that may have limited resources. The bill is set to take effect on May 7, 2025, giving local governments and the Department of Public Safety time to prepare for the new funding requirement.
