House Resolution No. by Representative Butler urges the office of broadband development and connectivity to provide quarterly reports on the status of broadband infrastructure projects funded by state and federal programs. The resolution highlights the importance of reliable broadband access for economic, educational, and healthcare participation, particularly in rural Louisiana, where many households and businesses still experience service issues. It emphasizes the need for transparency and legislative oversight to ensure equitable and effective implementation of these projects.

The requested reports, starting no later than September 1, 2025, will include detailed information on ongoing and completed projects, the percentage of rural connections, challenges faced, performance metrics of contractors, and financial accounting of funds expended and remaining. The resolution aims to identify service gaps and recommend improvements for reaching underserved areas, ensuring that the broadband expansion efforts adequately address the needs of all communities in Louisiana.
