EFFECT:   (1) Requires a public utility district or a port district to notify and consult with the Statewide Broadband Office within 90 days, rather than 30 days, of its decision to provide retail telecommunications services within unserved areas.

(2) Modifies how the Statewide Broadband Office (Office) may utilize the telecommunications infrastructure and service plan of a public utility district or port district by: (a) providing that such plans will enable the Office to allocate funding, rather than potentially allocate funding, for unserved areas; (b) clarifying that the Office may use the plans to report on the feasibility and sustainability of any project in the retail service area; and (c) providing that the Office may confirm that any federally funded or state funded project is within an unserved area as defined by the applicable federal or state guidelines instead of as defined in the bill.
