BEAM; amend provisions concerning determination and award for funding.

SB 2782 modifies Mississippi's broadband funding process by requiring the Office of Broadband Expansion and Accessibility (BEAM) to publish preliminary funding decisions online, including project locations and service speeds. It establishes a 30-day public comment period for projects serving end users, during which BEAM must investigate objections and cannot approve projects overlapping with existing or planned broadband coverage. The bill also protects applicants' trade secrets and financial information from public disclosure under Mississippi's records law. This directly affects broadband applicants seeking state funding and BEAM staff managing the review process, with no changes to project eligibility criteria or funding amounts.
