Bill > SB525

This bill requires localities that have entered into mutual aid agreements, which are formal arrangements for localities to assist each other with public safety services, to share the necessary information to program their public safety radio equipment. This includes details like radio frequencies and security or encryption keys, which are essential for ensuring that radios can communicate effectively. The goal is to enable direct communication between supporting units from different localities during mutual aid operations, though it does not mandate that any locality must upgrade its radio equipment.
