SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Center for Innovative Technology; duties; advanced electronic communications. Confers upon the Center for Innovative Technology, created by the Innovative Technology Authority pursuant to § 2.2-2232, the responsibility of coordinating all efforts of public and quasi-public bodies within the Commonwealth to enhance or facilitate the prompt availability of and access to advanced electronic communications services, commonly known as broadband, throughout the Commonwealth, monitoring trends and advances in advanced electronic communications technology to plan and forecast future needs for such technology, and identifying funding options. The bill does not consolidate or otherwise transfer to the Center authority over advanced electronic communications projects being conducted by public or quasi-public bodies outside of the executive branch of government. The bill also requires updates on the deployment of advanced electronic communications services in the Center’s reporting requirement to the Joint Commission on Technology and Science and establishes December 1 as the date by which the Center’s president must issue his annual report. The bill moves the reporting requirement from § 2.2-2221.1 to the new § 2.2-2232.1.
