Under current law, the Office of Justice Assistance (OJA) oversees the operation of a statewide public safety interoperable communication system, which is a system designed to allow public safety agencies to communicate with each other and with other pertinent entities as needed. OJA currently may charge a state public safety agency a fee for using the system, and the fees are used for operating the system. Under this bill, OJA may charge other entities that are not state agencies a fee for using the system, and the fees are used for operating the system.
