AI Summary
This bill authorizes the use of federal funds related to the "Connect Wyoming" program for broadband development in Wyoming. The "Connect Wyoming" program was created by the Wyoming Business Council to use available Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds for broadband projects necessary to respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency. The bill appropriates an amount determined by the legislature from any unexpended, unobligated funds previously appropriated for this purpose, and allows the use of any subsequent federal COVID-19 relief funds for continuing the program. The bill also provides rulemaking authority to the Wyoming Business Council to implement the provisions of the act, which is effective immediately upon becoming law.
