§ 3453a. Emergency operation centers and shelters
Any school building that 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 General Assembly for capital funding pursuant to 32 V.S.A. § 309. The State shall pay 100 percent of such costs, which shall at the Agency 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; 2021, No. 20, § 66.)
