Requires CATV companies to provide free broadband Internet service and associated equipment to public libraries and, under certain circumstances, other municipal buildings.

This bill requires cable companies to provide free broadband Internet service and necessary equipment (like routers) to public libraries and other municipal buildings - including fire stations, police stations, and public schools - when applying for or renewing a system-wide cable franchise. For standard municipal franchises, the requirement is limited to providing free service to at least one public library per municipality. The Internet service must be business-class quality, with bandwidth and capacity tailored to each library’s specific needs. This applies to all new or renewed franchise agreements approved after the bill takes effect.
