Revise bonding laws to include broadband projects

Complete·5/1/25

Montana HB650 revises bonding laws to include broadband projects.

Montana HB650 amends the definition of "project" to include broadband service facilities. This change allows municipalities and counties to issue bonds for projects providing broadband service exclusively to locations where such service is not offered, with a speed of at least 100 megabits per second. The bill revises the Montana Code Annotated to incorporate this new definition.
