House Bill No. 305, introduced by Representative Deshotel, aims to regulate certain broadband services in Louisiana by enacting R.S. 45:1206. The bill defines key terms such as "internet" and "internet service provider," and specifies that it applies to internet services utilizing federal grant funding for broadband infrastructure, including programs like the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program and the Rural Development Opportunity Fund (RDOF).

The bill grants the Public Service Commission the authority to supervise and enforce regulations for privately owned internet service providers that are not under local government control. It outlines the commission's powers to adopt rules, summon witnesses, and compel the production of documents, while also requiring that any actions taken by the commission be approved by the office of broadband before being submitted for further review. This legislation seeks to enhance oversight and ensure the effective regulation of broadband services in the state.
