What changed in the latest version

2 added · 2 removed

Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Bill HB 366, a few definitions were clarified, particularly around broadband services and internet protocol-enabled services, making it clearer what types of services fall under these categories. Additionally, it was specified that electric cooperatives are not obligated to set up broadband systems or allow others to use their systems for broadband services. These changes matter because they help define the responsibilities of electric cooperatives regarding broadband access and establish limitations on landowner claims if services have been permitted on their land, potentially shaping the future of broadband deployment in rural areas.
