Summary
Provides that a wireless services authority may fix rates, fees, and charges for services provided, or facilities owned, operated, or maintained by the authority, for which the authority has received loan funding. Currently, an authority may do so only if it has issued revenue bonds. A similar change authorizes rates to be set at levels to provide for payment of loans. The measure also requires each authority to maintain records demonstrating compliance with certain provisions and to make the records available for inspection and copying by the public pursuant to the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.

The bill HB 2108 has undergone some adjustments in its language, specifically by eliminating a section that identified it as part of the "Virginia Acts of Assembly." This change helps streamline the text and makes it clearer for readers who are not familiar with the legislative documentation. It matters because simplifying legal language ensures that more people can understand how the process of setting rates and fees for public services will work, ultimately promoting better transparency and engagement.
