HB 67 Wyoming House · 2022 Regular Session

Connect Wyoming program-funding and amendments.

HB 67 allocates $150 million in unspent federal American Rescue Plan Act funds to expand broadband internet access in Wyoming. It directs the state's Connect Wyoming program to fund terrestrial broadband projects exclusively in underserved areas (lacking 100 Mbps download/20 Mbps upload service) or unserved areas (lacking even basic 25/3 Mbps service), with projects required to deliver at least 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload speeds upon completion. The bill mandates that funds be used only as matching funds for federal grants under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, prohibits spending after December 31, 2024 (or later federal deadlines), and requires the Governor and Wyoming Business Council to establish rules for implementation. This directly affects rural Wyoming residents lacking reliable high-speed internet and state agencies managing broadband infrastructure development.
