Mississippi Emergency Communications Authority Act; bring forward.
SB 2650 reorganizes existing Mississippi Code sections (19-5-381 through 19-5-415) to form the "Mississippi Emergency Communications Authority Act" for easier reference and future amendment. It defines key terms like "Authority" (the emergency communications unit within the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency), "PSAP" (public safety answering point), and "NG911" (Next Generation 911 system) to clarify the structure of the state's emergency communications infrastructure. This procedural bill does not change current law but prepares the framework for potential updates to emergency call systems and funding mechanisms.
