AI Summary

This bill establishes a framework for the regionalization of public safety services in Massachusetts. It allows sheriffs' offices and cities or towns to enter into written agreements to establish, construct, equip, operate, and maintain consolidated regional public safety communications centers. These centers would be managed by a Regional Emergency Communications Council (RECC) composed of representatives from the member municipalities and the sheriff's office. The RECC would have the authority to set rules, manage a dedicated fund, apply for grants, borrow money, and employ personnel as needed to operate the regional communications center.
