Bill Summary
Create the Rural Broadband Task Force and exempt dark fiber from sales tax
AI Summary
This bill creates the Rural Broadband Task Force to review issues related to the availability, adoption, and affordability of broadband services in rural Nebraska. The task force will compare Nebraska's rural broadband speeds and subscription rates to neighboring states and the nation, examine the role of the Nebraska Telecommunications Universal Service Fund, and recommend policies to effectively utilize state and federal funding to expand rural broadband access. Additionally, the bill exempts "dark fiber" (unused fiber optic cables) from sales tax when sold between telecommunications companies, and transfers $50,000 from the Nebraska Internet Enhancement Fund to the newly created Rural Broadband Task Force Fund.
