Summary

Sunset Process - House Transportation, Housing, and Local
Government Committee. The Connect Colorado to Enhance Economic
Development, Telehealth, Education, and Safety Act (act), which created
the broadband deployment board (board) in the governor's office of
information technology and tasked the board with awarding grant money
from the high cost support mechanism (HCSM) for broadband
deployment in unserved areas of the state, is scheduled for repeal on
September 1, 2024. The department of regulatory agencies, as part of its
sunset process, reviewed the act and board and recommended that they be
extended for 5 years. The bill, instead, repeals the act and board, transfers
the function of awarding grant money from the HCSM to the Colorado
broadband office (office), and authorizes the office to award grants for
unserved and underserved areas of the state.
