The State Commission on Public Safety Technology and Critical Infrastructure was created in November 2002 (Chapter 277, Acts of 2002). The Commission recommended standards, procedures, and protocols to the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals to ensure the compatibility of the communication and information management systems of the Judiciary. Regulations to ensure the compatibility and operability of information management systems maintained by State, county and municipal public safety units were adopted by the Commission. Furthermore, the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, the Department of Budget and Management, the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee, and the House Commerce and Government Matters Committee were kept informed by the Commission on whether communication and information management systems supported by State funds meet standards (Code 1957, Art. 41, secs. 3-101 through 3-108).

Authorization for the Commission terminated on June 30, 2005, and certain of its duties transferred to the Criminal Justice Information Advisory Board (Chapter 447, Acts of 2005).
