Legislation
From bill to comment letter
A rural broadband advocate
A rural broadband advocate tracks a state bill and a federal rule on the same issue. They file a public comment before the deadline and send it to their delegation.
The issue
A federal agency has proposed a rule that changes how broadband subsidy money is handed out. Meanwhile the state legislature is moving a bill on the same program.
The work
On Legislation:
- My issues. Set to broadband, it gathers the matching state bills, bills in Congress and federal rules in one list.
- Comment now. The rule is open for comment, with 19 days left and a link to file.
- Find your representatives and Your state's delegation. Who represents each coalition member, and their committees.
- Voting and Campaign money. How those members have voted on broadband before.
- Grant Wizard. Broadband grants the coalition could apply for once the rule is final.
The result
The comment goes in with nine days to spare. The coalition sends it to the delegation along with the state bill's status.
