New Jersey A3931 removes the requirement that local units provide broadband telecommunications service via a wireless community network.

New Jersey A3931 amends existing law to remove the requirement that local units, such as counties and municipalities, provide broadband telecommunications service exclusively through a wireless community network. The bill allows local units to offer broadband service in any manner deemed necessary, provided they comply with state and federal laws. It also outlines provisions for contracts, financial planning, and public hearings related to broadband deployment. This change aims to give local units more flexibility in how they provide broadband services to residents and businesses.
