Bill > HF123

This bill appropriates $250 million in fiscal year 2025 from the state fiscal recovery federal fund to the commissioner of public safety to establish a grant program for local government units, federally recognized Tribal entities, and state agencies participating in the statewide Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response (ARMER) public safety radio communication system. The grants are specifically intended to help recipients purchase or upgrade portable radios, mobile radios, and related equipment that can work with the ARMER system. Each local government unit is limited to receiving one grant, and the grant is conditional upon the recipient providing a matching funds contribution of at least five percent from non-state sources. The grants will be administered by the director of the Department of Public Safety Emergency Communication Networks division, in consultation with the Statewide Emergency Communications Board, and the funds will be available until June 30, 2027. The bill becomes effective the day after its final enactment.
