Bill > HB62

This bill authorizes the State Preservation Board to install repeater systems on the Texas State Capitol grounds to improve communication capabilities for first responders and public safety personnel during emergencies. Specifically, the bill allows the board to use available funds to enhance radio, broadband network, and communication service operability in critical areas such as elevators, parking garages, the Capitol basement, and the Capitol extension. A repeater system is a device that receives a communication signal and retransmits it at a higher power, helping to extend the range and improve the clarity of radio communications in areas with poor signal strength. The purpose of this bill is to ensure that emergency responders can maintain reliable communication throughout the Capitol complex during natural disasters or other emergency situations. The bill will take effect 91 days after the end of the legislative session.
