INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Torres

                        FEBRUARY 24, 2012

   An act to add Section 53114.3 to the Government Code, relating to
emergency services.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2459, as introduced, Torres. Local emergency telephone systems:
appropriate use.
   Existing law, the Warren-911-Emergency Assistance Act, requires
every local public agency to establish within its jurisdiction a
basic emergency telephone system, and directs the Public Safety
Communications Division within the California Technology Agency to
coordinate and assist a local public agency to establish that system.

   This bill would require the California 911 Emergency
Communications Office to develop and implement a public education
campaign to instruct the public on appropriate and inappropriate uses
of the 911 emergency telephone number system.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 53114.3 is added to the Government Code, to
read:
   53114.3.  The California 911 Emergency Communications Office shall
develop and implement a public education campaign to instruct the
public on appropriate and inappropriate uses of the 911 emergency
telephone number system.
