HB 5309 establishes the Local 9-1-1 Response Fund and Grant Program to improve emergency response times. The fund will receive appropriations from the legislature, gifts, grants, and earnings from investments. The Texas Division of Emergency Management will oversee the program, setting criteria for political subdivisions to apply for grants. Awarded funds must be used to enhance the efficiency of emergency response services, with oversight mechanisms to ensure compliance with public interest goals.
