H.R. 2206, State Wide Interoperable Communications Enhancement Act (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 114th
Date Requested May 20, 2015
Requested By House Committee on Homeland Security
Date Sent May 28, 2015
Description:

H.R. 2206 would expand the application requirements for funding through the State Homeland Security Grant Program. The bill would require states to certify as part of their grant application that the state has designated a statewide interoperability coordinator to oversee the daily operations of the state’s interoperability programs. Those programs are aimed at ensuring that the communications systems of different emergency response agencies can work together. CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would have no effect on the federal budget because it would not modify the workload of the Department of Homeland Security. Enacting H.R. 2206 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

The bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
