Missouri HB2886 modifies the broadband grant program to prioritize higher speeds and establish a challenge process for existing providers.
Missouri HB2886 amends the broadband grant program to prioritize projects providing at least 500 megabits per second download and upload speeds, scalable to higher speeds. The Department of Economic Development must not fund projects if a broadband provider challenges them and the provider meets certain conditions. The challenged project will not be funded unless the provider fails to meet their commitment due to uncontrollable circumstances. The grant program will sunset six years after reauthorization.
