Bill Summary
For legislation relative to PEG access and cable related funds,- reports the accompanying bill (Senate, No. 2341).
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law on PEG (Public, Educational, and Governmental) access and cable-related funds. Specifically, it allows municipalities to direct payment of franchise fees by cable operators directly to their chosen PEG access provider, rather than having the funds go through the municipality first. It also changes the language around how these funds can be "expended" rather than just "appropriated". Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the new section shall take effect on July 1, 2019.
