(1) The Office of Emergency Management, by rule, shall adopt minimum standards for public safety telecommunications personnel, including but not limited to emergency telephone workers, as defined in ORS 243.736. In developing the standards, the office shall address the necessary multiagency support, coordination, planning, administration and ongoing maintenance of a certification program which includes testing to determine whether workers subject to the standards are in compliance.
(2) The standards referred to in subsection (1) of this section shall not become operative until the Board on Public Safety Standards and Training determines that there has been an adequate personnel training period to permit compliance with the standards.
(3) The Board on Public Safety Standards and Training shall develop a recommended training program and a plan for implementing the training program to provide workers that are subject to the minimum standards referred to in subsection (1) of this section with the training necessary to comply with the standards. The implementation plan shall address the cost considerations of the training program both to state and local government agencies whose workers are subject to the minimum standards.
