Relating to a grant program to assist nonprofit organizations, regional planning commissions, and emergency communication districts in the provision of emergency communications services in this state.

HB 269 would create a Texas grant program to help nonprofits, regional planning commissions, and emergency communication districts pay for emergency communications services like 9-1-1. The Commission on State Emergency Communications would develop rules for applications, eligibility, and tracking how funds are used to ensure services are delivered effectively. The program could also accept donations to supplement state funding. This bill directly affects organizations providing critical emergency communication services across Texas.
