41-1803. Statewide critical infrastructure
information system; disclosure; definition


A. The department of public safety shall establish and operate a statewide critical
infrastructure information system.


B. When the department of public safety declares through written notice to all
state agencies and local governments that the statewide critical infrastructure
information system is operational, all state agencies and local governments shall only
use the statewide critical infrastructure information system and shall not operate
independent critical infrastructure information systems. State agencies and local
governments are not required to use the statewide system if they are operating or
developing a critical infrastructure information system before the department of public
safety declares that the statewide critical infrastructure information system is
operational. State agencies and local governments shall make efforts to ensure that the
statewide system is interoperable with other critical infrastructure information systems
allowed by law.


C. All state and local government-owned critical infrastructure facilities that are
occupied by state or local government employees shall be added to the statewide critical
infrastructure information system when funding is available. Nothing in this article
requires any state agency or local government to add a critical infrastructure facility
to the system unless the entire cost of adding the facility is provided by available
federal monies.


D. Except for state and local government owned critical infrastructure facilities,
any entity may voluntarily participate in the statewide critical infrastructure
information system at their own cost. Tribal participation shall be supported with
federal monies provided directly or by this state under procedures established for grant
allocations by the office of the governor.


E. Consistent with the guidelines developed under section 41-1804, the department
of public safety shall make critical infrastructure information available, consistent
with information protection procedures, to all state, local, federal and tribal law
enforcement agencies, the department of emergency and military affairs, public health
organizations, the department of agriculture, the department of health services, fire
departments and other organizations as necessary to safeguard personnel and property in
this state.


F. The department of public safety shall pursue federal monies for all state and
local critical infrastructure facilities to be added to the system.


G. All critical infrastructure information provided to the department of public
safety or any local government is exempt from public disclosure.


H. For the purposes of this article, "local government" means any county, city,
town, school district or tribal law enforcement agency.
