Office of Broadband Development renamed the Office of Broadband Development and Digital Equity authorization; office duties and reporting requirements modification; state's broadband goals expansion; multifamily dwelling grant program establishment; definitions for the purpose of broadband development modification

This bill renames Minnesota's Office of Broadband Development to the Office of Broadband Development and Digital Equity and expands its mission to explicitly include digital equity. It establishes a new grant program to fund broadband installation in multifamily housing units, modifies the office's duties to better coordinate statewide broadband planning, and updates definitions related to broadband access. The office must now report annually on progress toward expanded state broadband goals that prioritize underserved communities. These changes directly affect local governments, broadband providers, and residents in areas lacking reliable high-speed internet access.
