Emergency telephone systems.

Existing law, the Warren-911-Emergency Assistance Act, requires the office of the State Chief Information Officer to review and update technical and operational standards for public agency systems in each even-numbered year, after consultation with specified entities and individuals. The bill would require the review and update of technical and operational standards for public agency systems to include standards for recruitment and training of public safety dispatchers. Existing law also requires the State 911 Advisory Board to advise the office on specified subjects, including training standards for county coordinators and public safety answering point managers. The bill would add one representative from the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training and one representative from the Office of the State Fire Marshal to the State 911 Advisory Board. The bill would also modify the requirement that the State 911 Advisory Board advise the office on training standards for county coordinators and public safety answering point managers to also require the State 911 Advisory Board to advise the office on training standards for public safety dispatchers, and to advise the office concerning specified issues. This bill would also make technical changes to conform to the Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 1 of the 2009–10 Regular Session.
