§ 3453a. Emergency operation centers and shelters

Any school building which may be designated as a local, regional, or state emergency operation center or shelter shall be designed for use as an emergency operations center or shelter. For this purpose, the proposed project shall include the installation of a wiring harness capable of being connected to emergency electric power generation to provide for emergency heating, lighting, and communications. The wiring installation cost to upgrade emergency facilities shall be included in the budgets submitted to the legislature for capital funding pursuant to section 309 of Title 32. The state shall pay 100 percent of such costs, which shall at the department level be itemized and accounted for separately from those costs in which the state only shares in the project cost. The state shall not pay for the costs of purchasing the generator. (Added 1999, No. 29, § 43, eff. May 19, 1999; amended 2009, No. 43, § 47, eff. May 27, 2009.)
