The resolution proposes an interim study to investigate and monitor broadband issues and deployment in Nebraska. It aims to assess various aspects of broadband expansion, including state and federal projects, inter-jurisdictional cooperation, network resiliency, regulatory changes, and consumer protection. The study will also explore potential efficiencies to expedite broadband service deployment.
The Transportation and Telecommunications Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this interim study. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, ensuring that the insights gained from the study can inform future actions and policies regarding broadband access in the state.
