Bill Summary

For legislation relative to PEG access and cable related funds. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill amends current law to allow municipalities to arrange for direct payment of franchise-related fees to a designated public, educational, and governmental (PEG) access provider of their choosing, and changes the language from "appropriated" to "used" regarding how these cable-related funds can be utilized. The key changes provide municipalities with more flexibility in managing PEG access and cable-related funds to support their local community programming and services.
