AN ACT ESTABLISHING A WORKING GROUP TO STUDY AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING PUBLIC SAFETY ANSWERING POINTS.

HB 6649 establishes a working group led by the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection to study the state's current public safety answering points (PSAPs), which handle emergency calls. The group will analyze the existing system and propose recommendations for consolidating PSAPs while ensuring public safety remains a priority. This bill does not change current operations but creates a formal process for evaluating potential structural changes to emergency call centers. It directly affects state emergency services management and the agencies operating PSAPs across the state. The working group’s recommendations would be submitted to the legislature after its study concludes.
