This legislation provides authority to cities to establish and operate communications networks and offer
communications services within the corporate limits of the city and under similar conditions as a private
industry communications service provider. This legislation essentially allows the cities and private industry
communications service providers a fair and level competitive playing field.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation has no impact on the general fund of the State or of a city. The fiscal impact may be positive or
negative to the residents of a city that purchase communications services from a city, depending on the success
or failure of the city's operation of its communications network in the competitive market.
