appropriation; broadband infrastructure

HB 2668 allocates $5 million from Arizona's state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to fund broadband infrastructure projects. The bill directs the state treasurer to distribute these funds as grants to cities and towns with populations under 100,000. This provides direct financial support for local governments to expand high-speed internet access in smaller communities. The bill is currently in early legislative stages, having passed its first two House readings.
