• coordinating state interoperability and communications projects and grant applications for such projects;
• establishing and maintaining working groups to develop and implement key interoperability initiatives; and
• coordinating and updating a Statewide Communications Interoperability Plan that specifies the current status of state efforts to enhance communications interoperability within the state, including future goals for communications interoperability among emergency response agencies in the state.
