An Act to make an appropriation for the expansion of broadband infrastructure and to declare an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill appropriates $87,000,000 in federal funds to the Governor's Office of Economic Development to provide grants for expanding broadband infrastructure across the state, following guidelines from the federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program. The commissioner of the Governor's Office of Economic Development is authorized to approve payments, and the state auditor will issue warrants for these expenditures. Any funds not used or committed by the end of the fiscal year will be returned according to state procedures outlined in chapter 4-8. The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon its passage and approval, as it is deemed necessary for the support of state government and its public institutions.
