OFA Fiscal Note
Potential Cost
The amendment strikes the underlying bill and its associated fiscal
impact and results in the impact described below.
The amendment makes broadband installation projects funded by
certain state grants subject to the state's prevailing wage law. The
prevailing wage provision may result in a potential cost to
municipalities (for the municipal share of the project cost) as there will
be increased contractual costs for these projects beginning in FY 24, to
the extent these projects currently fall below the existing prevailing
wage threshold.
