Bill Introduced to Extend PSIC Grant Deadline to October, 2012

Note from John Powell:
H.R. 1819

To amend the Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005 to extend the interoperable emergency communications grant program through
fiscal year 2012. See
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h1819/show for bill details.

Note that this bill may have been incorrectly titled as it refers to the IECGP rather than PSIC.  However, the actual amendment is to the PSIC legislation.

Introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on Mar 31, 2009.
     
Mar 31, 2009: Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

So far it appears the bill has only ONE sponsor.  Letters from interested parties to their respective members will improve the likelihood of rapid passage.
