This bill allows counties to establish county-wide communications districts. The bill amends current law to include counties as entities that can form communications districts. It also allows municipalities within county-wide districts to exclude themselves from the communications district planning committee, but still have the option to join later. The bill requires the committee to hold public information sessions and provide copies of the proposed district agreement and relevant laws. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
