Provides an exemption for certain fiber optic cable assessments in Erie county
This bill exempts municipal fiber optic broadband infrastructure in Erie County from real property taxes, levies, and assessments. It directly affects Erie County municipal broadband companies (like local authorities or municipalities building fiber networks) and their owned cable infrastructure, whether installed on public or private property. Key provisions require these companies to prioritize contractors with strong workplace safety practices, submit workforce plans detailing local hiring and safety standards, and comply with prevailing wage requirements. The exemption applies immediately to assessments for taxable status dates on or after the bill's effective date.
