An act relating to extending the sunset under 30 V.S.A. § 248a

This bill extends the deadline for a state program that issues certificates of public good for communications facilities from July 1, 2023, to July 1, 2026. The law prevents the Public Service Commission from accepting new applications for these certificates after the extended date. Additionally, the bill requires state officials to submit a report by January 15, 2024, on how to improve the telecommunications siting process for municipalities and individuals. The report must include recommendations for updating the program based on input from local governments, utility companies, and other interested parties.
