Revises provisions relating to governmental administration. (BDR 18-1085)

SB 367 establishes a Rural and Community Media Program within the Department of Administration to improve state government outreach to rural and historically underrepresented communities. It requires state agencies spending on public outreach, marketing, or advertising to prioritize contracts with designated rural/community media outlets (defined as local nonprofits or small businesses serving specific communities) and report annually on their usage and spending. The program director must maintain a statewide media database, provide agency training on inclusive outreach strategies, and submit annual reports to the legislature detailing contracts and language accessibility. This policy directly affects all state departments and agencies conducting public engagement, mandating a shift in media spending practices to better serve underrepresented communities.
