[EAS] Statewide CAP in CA?

[Dave Kline]

> I have heard from other members of our company's TV group that amber alerts (CAE) will be mandatory. Do you know anything about this?

Stephen,
Can you source the information from something written that you can pass along here?
Or at least get back to who you heard it from and ask more of what they know about it or where they heard it?
Perhaps it is something being proposed to be mandatory under your state or LECC plans?

Questions then for the group.
Can a state or local plan require of stations those things, not required by the FCC?
Can state/local plans change the conditions of alerts or required tests to be more restrictive than FCC requirements?
Examples: Can a state/local plan require stations to originate two RWT's in one week?
Or can they say that RMT's must be relayed within 45 minutes of receipt rather than 60?
Or can they require stations to monitor more sources than the FCC says we need to monitor?
