The legislature finds that many state citizens who are unable to utilize telephone services in a regular manner due to hearing impairments are able to communicate through the use of telecommunication devices and that such devices should be installed in municipal police and county sheriff departments in areas where such units are in use by deaf persons and in the communications section of the state police in order to assure prompt response to emergency situations.
