Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Significant provisions of the bill and any related workload or policy assumptions that have revenue or expenditure impact on the responding agency by
section number.
Section 1 amends RCW 43.155.160 to require end-user location address information for each Public Works Board
Broadband Program application. Only applicants that submitted mapping data to the State Broadband Office (department)
in the previous year may submit an objection to a proposed broadband project. When evaluating applications, applicants that
submitted broadband mapping data to the department may be given priority.
Section 2 amends RCW 43.330.534 to provide the department the authority to develop and maintain a state broadband map.
Section 3 adds a new section to RCW 43.330 to develop and maintain a map indicating all addresses of serviceable
locations and the capability of broadband service at each location, as well as requiring covered entities to submit updated
map information to the department twice annually. The initial map must be completed by July 1, 2024 and be updated twice
annually. The information that providers must submit includes that which is submitted to the federal communications
commission (FCC) and detailed end-user location. Providers that do not provide end-user service must provide updated data
regarding the location of infrastructure in support of end-user service connections. The department will determine the
format and the dates for information to be submitted, which must be within 15 days of the information required by the FCC.
Section 3(3) the department may not award state grants to an entity that did not submit required mapping information during
the calendar year of noncompliance as well as the following calendar year. Eligibility for federal funds is not affected by
noncompliance.
Section 3(4) the department can share mapping data to achieve the state's broadband speed and accessibility goals, and in
accordance with the purpose and powers of the department.
Section 3(5) the department may contract for private or third-party consultant to develop and maintain the state broadband
map.
Section 3(6) the department must establish a process to receive and evaluate petitions to correct inaccuracies with the
map.
Section 3(7) subject to amounts appropriated, the department may conduct a survey of broadband infrastructure owned or
leased by state agencies to supplement mapping information submitted by providers. State agencies have 120 days to
respond to the survey and information submitted is not subject to disclosure.
Section 3(10) the department may adopt rules to implement this section.
Section 4 amends RCW 43.155.165 to permit funds from the state broadband account to be used to develop and maintain
the state broadband map.
Section 5 amends RCW 42.56.270 to exempt data submitted to develop and maintain the state broadband map from
disclosure.
II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency with the cash receipts provisions identified by section number and when appropriate, the
detail of the revenue sources. Description of the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the cash receipts impact is derived. Explanation

FNS063 Individual State Agency Fiscal Note 2 Bill # 1746 HB
Agency expenditures necessary to implement this legislation (or savings resulting from this legislation), with the provisions of the legislation that result in
the expenditures (or savings) identified by section number. Description of the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the expenditure
impact is derived. Explanation of how workload assumptions translate into cost estimates. Distinguished between one time and ongoing functions.
Agency assumptions
• Based on the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection schedule, the department would require data to be submitted within 15
days of September 1, 2023 (for June 30, 2023 data) and March 1, 2024 (for December 31, 2023 data). The department
assumes this will remain the general data reporting schedule and will update it as the FCC updates it.
• The development of the state broadband map will be in close consultation with the department’s Information Services
team, and will require a professional services contract for GIS services and for data layers.
• The department will begin outreach, engagement and procurement activities in June 2023 so that the collection of granular
broadband availability data can meet the current data filing schedule, and to create an initial state fabric for the first
operational state map by the July 1, 2024 timeline.
