This bill proposes to amend Minnesota Statutes, specifically by adding a new section, [237.181] SERVICE TO AREAS WITH CARRY VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL SERVICES. It relieves telephone companies and telecommunications carriers from the obligation to provide services in areas identified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as having the necessary telecommunications infrastructure to support voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) services. The bill outlines that if a company is not required to offer service in such an area, it must notify the Public Utilities Commission and inform customers about the dispute resolution process. The bill also establishes a framework for resolving disputes regarding the FCC's identification of areas with telecommunications infrastructure. The Office of Broadband Development is tasked with handling these disputes, requiring customers to notify the office if they believe their location does not have the necessary infrastructure. The office must then communicate with the relevant telecommunications provider, which is required to respond within a specified timeframe. Ultimately, the state broadband director will make a determination on the matter, which will dictate whether the company is relieved of its service obligation or not, while ensuring compliance with any applicable federal obligations.
