Summary

The bill moves all public‑safety communications duties to the Public Safety Communications Division within the Office of Emergency Services and stops other state or local agencies from doing those jobs without permission. It also requires any agency that uses the state system to get division approval for technical contracts and to notify the division’s bargaining representative. The rule applies to every California agency and city, including charter cities.
