HB 2220 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Enacts provisions relating to the department of transportation's fiber network

HB 2220 authorizes Missouri's Department of Transportation (DOT) to form public-private partnerships with broadband providers to expand the state's fiber network. It requires the DOT to prioritize unserved and underserved areas (defined in state law) and use a competitive bidding process with specific public notice requirements in local newspapers and tech publications. Private partners can use excess fiber capacity to offer internet services meeting state broadband standards, while the DOT must follow state rulemaking procedures. The bill creates a structured framework for expanding rural and low-access broadband infrastructure through DOT-led partnerships.
