Maryland Broadband Opportunity and Fairness Act establishes a low-income consumer broadband program and sets broadband service standards.

The Maryland Broadband Opportunity and Fairness Act creates a program to provide broadband services to eligible low-income consumers. It mandates that broadband providers offer the same terms and conditions for low-income consumer programs as for regular plans, except for price and speed. Providers must publicly advertise these programs and enrollment procedures. The Office of Statewide Broadband in the Department of Housing and Community Development sets minimum broadband speed and data storage requirements, which can be adjusted based on household size.
