Bill overview
This bill creates a new Department of Broadband and Digital Equity within the Government Operations Agency to oversee broadband deployment and adoption throughout California. It establishes a Broadband and Digital Equity Commission to advise the department and advocate for state interests. The department will take over existing programs like the California Advanced Services Fund and the Broadband Loan Loss Reserve Fund, aiming for universal broadband access. The bill also modifies existing laws to support these efforts and streamline the process for broadband development.
