SB 1560 (Ausley) and HB 1339 (Goff-Marcil) revise the duties of the Florida Office of Broadband within the Department of Economic Opportunity. The bills define “unserved” to mean a geographic area of this state in which there is no provider of broadband internet service that offers a connection to the internet with a capacity for transmission at a consistent speed of at least 25 megabits per second downstream and at least 3 megabits per second upstream. The bills require the Office to develop geographic information system maps of broadband internet service availability throughout this state and a broadband infrastructure asset map by June 30, 2022. The bills create the Broadband Deployment Task Force to support and provide recommendations to the Office for the deployment of broadband internet service through this state. The Task Force is comprised of 16 members including one representative from the Florida League of Cities. The bills also require the office to establish a process to identify eligible households to receive federal Emergency Broadband Benefit Program funds. (Hughes)
