Relating generally to funding for certain broadband expansion programs administered by the Economic Development Authority
This bill allows the West Virginia Economic Development Authority to use money from the state's Insurance Fund to support its Broadband Loan Insurance Program. It also permits the Authority to use funds from its Economic Development Project Fund to finance broadband expansion projects that receive federal support. Additionally, the legislation enables the Authority to move money between these two funds to help pay for broadband insurance initiatives. These changes aim to provide more financial flexibility for the Authority to expand internet access across the state.
