Monumental Broadband Legislation Signed Into Law

Gov. Newsom Oct.8, signed into law Senate Bill (SB) 4 by Senator Lena Gonzalez (D-Long Beach) and Assembly Bill (AB) 14 by Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry (D-Winters) to advance digital equity in the state and provide high-speed internet access to more Californians. These new laws will complement the recent $6 Billion budget investment passed this summer for broadband infrastructure deployment projects by ensuring last mile connections are realized and providing sustainable, long-term funding, which will bring an additional $1.5 Billion over the next 10 years.
