AI Summary

This bill authorizes Massachusetts Sheriffs' Offices and cities or towns to enter into written agreements to create a consolidated regional public safety communications center, which will be managed by a Regional Emergency Communications Council (RECC). The RECC will be governed by a board of directors composed of representatives from each participating municipality and the Sheriff's office, with the board responsible for setting financial terms, operational guidelines, budget preparation, and personnel matters for the center. This RECC will also manage a fund for all contributions, grants, and gifts, and will have the authority to borrow money, enter into contracts, employ personnel, and sue or be sued, similar to a city or town. The agreements can also outline procedures for admitting new members, amending the agreement, and terminating the regional center.
