AI Summary
This bill establishes a Public Safety Assistance Board to assist cities and towns with the construction and renovation of police stations, fire stations, and joint public safety facilities. The bill creates a grant program to provide up to 75% of the total construction costs for police or fire stations, and up to 90% for joint public safety facilities. The board will set construction standards, review and prioritize grant applications, and administer the Public Safety Assistance Fund, which will be funded through appropriations and other designated sources. The bill also includes provisions to allow certain cities and towns that have already begun projects to be exempt from the new construction standards, and requires the board to begin making grant awards and promulgating regulations within a year of the bill's effective date.
