 AN ACT in relation to establishing the state police communication inter-
   operability demonstration project

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  State police communication interoperability demonstration
 project. 1. The legislature finds that significant police radio communi-
 cations problems, such as coverage gaps, lack of encryption  and  inade-
 quate  interoperability  between  state  and  local police systems exist
 within the state of New York thereby  warranting  the  authorization  of
 this interoperability demonstration project.
   2. Within an area comprised of a multiple county interoperable consor-
 tium,  the  state  police  are authorized to conduct an interoperability
 demonstration project for the purpose of testing the use of  established
 techniques  to promote more efficient communications for state and local
 law enforcement agencies.
   3. As part of  the  demonstration  project,  the  state  police  shall
 utilize,  to the best extent possible, current infrastructure that meets
 the needs of the interoperability demonstration project.
   4. The interoperability demonstration project shall be funded  through
 existing division of homeland security and emergency services funding.
   5.  The state police shall determine the best vendor for this project,
 taking into account readiness, familiarity with the project and  ability
 to complete the project in a cost efficient and timely manner.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
