HB 69 Wyoming House · 2022 Regular Session

Broadband development-amendments and programs.

HB 69 allows Wyoming to use funds from its broadband development subaccount to match federal grants for broadband projects. It specifically authorizes up to $1.5 million annually (or 15% of the subaccount balance) to cover the state's share for federal grants aimed at expanding broadband access, improving internet opportunities, or supporting telehealth services for Wyoming residents and businesses. The bill also creates two temporary positions at the Wyoming Business Council to help secure federal grants and coordinate with broadband providers. These provisions affect residents seeking better internet access, businesses relying on connectivity, and the Wyoming Business Council through new grant application responsibilities. The bill does not create new taxes or spending but reallocates existing subaccount funds for matching grant purposes.
