AB 919 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: communication facility relocation reimbursements and making an appropriation. (FE)

AB 919 creates a $10 million appropriation to reimburse communications service providers for costs incurred when relocating facilities in public rights-of-way. It directly affects cable, internet, and telecom companies (defined as "communications service providers") that must move infrastructure due to government agency, city, or county requirements. The bill establishes that the Public Service Commission must provide these reimbursements as a continuing appropriation. Key provisions include defining "communications service facility" and requiring the Commission to report on this funding in budget submissions. This is a funding mechanism, not a policy change to service requirements.
