Declares an emergency, effective on passage.
AI Summary
This bill aims to expedite broadband infrastructure development in Oregon by establishing a state policy to quickly leverage federal funding from the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund and the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program. The legislation requires all state agencies to prioritize and fast-track permits and authorizations for broadband service infrastructure projects, ensuring they review and make decisions on these applications more quickly and cost-effectively than other permit requests. The bill defines a "state agency" as any executive branch institution and mandates that they streamline the permitting process while maintaining legal requirements. Importantly, the provisions do not apply to emergency permits declared by the Governor. The bill includes a sunset clause, meaning these provisions will automatically be repealed on January 2, 2030, and it takes effect immediately due to an emergency declaration, which is designed to help Oregon capitalize on limited federal funding timelines for expanding telecommunications services across the state.
