Colorado expands funding for public safety radios

The law creates Colorado’s Public Safety Communications Trust Fund to support the digital trunked radio system. At each fiscal year’s end, the state treasurer must transfer leftover, unspent and uncommitted money from the communications revolving fund. The legislature can add money, and the department has ongoing authority to distribute it under agency rules. Funding supports equipment purchases and upkeep for the Office of Public Safety Communications, state agencies, and other system users. Allowed costs include equipment rentals, infrastructure upkeep, tower leases, and payments to local governments for public safety radio systems. Agencies must coordinate system purchases and upkeep, and supported systems must meet the Federal Communications Commission’s Public Safety National Plan requirements. The law sets no funding amount or household payment.
