The purpose of this part is to improve and coordinate the use of public safety radio and other public safety communications facilities owned and operated by the state, and to coordinate and cooperate with cities, counties, and other political subdivisions thereof, in order to eliminate duplications and interferences, to bring about economies that could not otherwise be obtained. 15253.

Radio and other communications facilities owned or operated by the state and subject to the jurisdiction of the agency shall not be used for political, sectarian, or propaganda purposes. The facilities shall not be used for the purpose of broadcasts intended for the general public, except for fire, flood, frost, storm, catastrophe, and other warnings and information for the protection of the public safety as the agency may prescribe.
