HB 26-1348

House Bill 26-1348 changes how money from the Broadband Infrastructure Cash Fund can be used. It now allows three correctional facilities in Colorado—the Trinidad Correctional Facility, Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility, and Arrowhead Correctional Facility—to receive funding from this cash fund to improve their broadband infrastructure. The bill also extends the life of the fund until July 1, 2028. Since the bill has been signed, these changes are now law and affect how funds are distributed to support better internet access in these specific prisons.
