UTILITIES: Provides relative to broadband
HB 700 is a procedural amendment that modifies the text of a separate broadband infrastructure bill by adding the word "Investment" to its title. It does not create new laws or change policy but instead updates the official name of the legislation to reflect a specific focus on investment. This change was made during the legislative process to ensure the bill's title accurately describes its content before it moves forward for final approval.
