Ex. Summary:
House Bill 24-1334 seeks to enhance broadband access in multi-unit rental properties and mobile home parks by preventing landlords from unreasonably denying Internet service providers access. The bill allows tenants to request broadband installations, prohibits exclusive agreements that restrict competition, and requires landlords to accommodate multiple providers while permitting them to establish reasonable safety and property management conditions. Broadband companies must cover installation costs and adhere to industry standards to minimize property disruption. This legislation aims to close the digital divide, ensuring fair competition, increased broadband availability, and enhanced Internet access for renters throughout Colorado.
