H 675 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

BROADBAND – Amends existing law to revise the definition of broadband.

Idaho's H 675 revises the legal definition of "broadband" to require a minimum download speed of 100 Mbps and upload speed of 20 Mbps. This change directly affects broadband providers (including internet companies, electric cooperatives, and government entities) and infrastructure projects needing to meet this standard. The bill updates existing law to align with current technical requirements for high-speed internet access, replacing outdated definitions. It also clarifies related terms like "broadband infrastructure" and "broadband provider" to ensure consistent application in state regulations. The law takes effect July 1, 2026.
