Establishes office in EDA to assist in provision and expansion of broadband Internet service in State to address inequities in accessing broadband service.

This bill establishes a Broadband Assistance Office within New Jersey's Economic Development Authority to address broadband access inequities. The office will map broadband connectivity, coordinate with state departments, and oversee funding for projects in critical areas (census tracts with low broadband access or high poverty/ethnic minority populations). It creates a State Broadband Fund to provide financial support for broadband infrastructure installation and service for disadvantaged households and rural communities. The bill sets specific broadband speed goals (25 Mbps download/3 Mbps upload by 2023, 100 Mbps/100 Mbps by 2027) and requires annual reporting on project outcomes and implementation challenges.
