A.  The department of public safety shall establish and operate a statewide critical infrastructure information system.

B.  When the department of public safety declares through written notice to all state agencies and local governments that the statewide critical infrastructure information system is operational, all state agencies and local governments shall only use the statewide critical infrastructure information system and shall not operate independent critical infrastructure information systems.  State agencies and local governments are not required to use the statewide system if they are operating or developing a critical infrastructure information system before the department of public safety declares that the statewide critical infrastructure information system is operational.  State agencies and local governments shall make efforts to ensure that the statewide system is interoperable with other critical infrastructure information systems allowed by law.

C.  All state and local government-owned critical infrastructure facilities that are occupied by state or local government employees shall be added to the statewide critical infrastructure information system when funding is available.  Nothing in this article requires any state agency or local government to add a critical infrastructure facility to the system unless the entire cost of adding the facility is provided by available federal monies.

D.  Except for state and local government‑owned critical infrastructure facilities, any entity may voluntarily participate in the statewide critical infrastructure information system at their its own cost.  Tribal participation shall be supported with federal monies provided directly or by this state under procedures established for grant allocations by the office of the governor.
