Rockefeller, Hutchison Introduce PSIC Bill

Sens Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) and Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) have jointly introduced a bill to extend the Public Safety Interoperable Communications (PSIC) grant program. That is the program that funds state efforts to provide interoperable equipment and training, and the legislators want to make sure they have the money to deploy projects in the works. The House Commerce Committee has scheduled a hearing for Thursday (Sept. 24) on "recent developments" regarding that national interoperable network.
