Lawmakers push to remove taxes on broadband grants

LANSING, Mich. (WZMQ) – Lawmakers are moving forward with efforts to expand broadband lines across the U.P.. State Representatives introduced a bipartisan bill that would create more incentives for companies looking to help in the expansion.

House Bill 4287 would remove taxes on state and federal grants given to broadband expansion projects. Representative Karl Bohnak (R-Deerton) said it will be essential to get reliable high-speed internet across the peninsula to support students and attract new businesses and remote workers.

“Private and public partners are working hard to bring broadband infrastructure to all corners of Michigan,” said Bohnak. “Now, state government must do its part to help expand connectivity. The Michigan Broadband Accessibility Act will remove a paywall blocking progress, allowing for even greater public and private investments into broadband infrastructure.”

The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Finance for further consideration.
