HB 62 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Relating to the operability of first responder and public safety communication services used in responding to natural disasters or other emergencies on the Capitol grounds.

HB 62 authorizes the State Preservation Board to use available funds to install signal boosters and communication equipment on Capitol grounds. This improves radio and public safety broadband networks for first responders during natural disasters or emergencies, specifically in areas like elevators, parking garages, the Capitol basement, and Capitol extension. The bill directly affects emergency personnel working on Capitol grounds by enhancing their communication capabilities during critical incidents. It does not change existing laws but enables infrastructure upgrades to support public safety operations.
