Colorado Now Allows Local Governments to Provide Broadband Without a Local Election

Broadband

 

In a legislative shift that has the potential to transform broadband deployment in the state, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 23-183 this week. The bill removes a major barrier to deploying universal broadband by revising a law that was established in 2005.

The 2005 law, SB05-152, prohibited most uses of municipal or county money for infrastructure to improve local broadband service without getting voter approval to opt out. With the new legislation, local governments are granted the authority to provide broadband service without holding a local election.
