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.
The bill modifies the responsibilities of the Governor’s Statewide Broadband Office. The purpose of the office is to
encourage, foster, develop, and improve affordable, quality broadband in Washington. The bill expands the Office’s purpose
to include encouraging broadband adoption and digital equity in the state.
Currently the Office has the power and duty to coordinate with local governments, tribes, public and private entities, public
housing agencies, nonprofit organizations, and consumer-owned and investor-owned utilities to develop strategies regarding
broadband access. Section 3 of this bill expands the partners to include relevant state agencies. The state librarian (in the
Office of the Secretary of State) is named as a relevant state agency.
By December 1, 2024, the Office must submit to the governor and appropriate legislative communities a report addressing
digital equity, including an evaluation of existing state digital equity initiatives (Section 4.4.(d)).
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
of how workload assumptions translate into estimates. Distinguished between one time and ongoing functions.
II. C - Expenditures
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.
The Office of the Secretary of State (OSOS) Washington State Library staff are already involved in efforts by the
Statewide Broadband Office to encourage broadband adoption in the state. We believe any additional coordination resulting
from this bill can be absorbed within existing resources. Therefore, no fiscal impact to OSOS.

collaborate with federally recognized tribes and relevant state agencies including, but limited to the Washington state Office
of Equity, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the Consolidated Technology Services (WaTech).
The proposed substitute removes certain duties relating to digital equity from SBO and transfers responsibility for the SBO's

It requires the Office of Equity to develop and monitor implementation of the state Digital Equity Plan, building upon
progress made by the SBO in developing a state Digital Equity Plan.

submit a report to the Governor and the Legislature by December 1, 2024, including an evaluation of existing digital equity

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 3 - Increase minimum broadband speed to 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload. Expands outreach and actions
to inform and help consumers. The state broadband office “must” (instead of “may) collaborate with tribes and other
relevant state agencies, including the utilities and transportation commission, in carrying out its purpose.
To participate in the collaborative effort, UTC will need necessary resources to conduct extensive research and analysis to
make sound recommendations to help the SBO achieve its purpose.
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
of how workload assumptions translate into estimates. Distinguished between one time and ongoing functions.
None.
II. C - Expenditures
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.
To carry out its purpose, the SBO must collaborate with the UTC to encourage, foster, develop, and improve affordable,
quality broadband and broadband adoption and digital equity within the state. The UTC will need necessary resources to
conduct ongoing research and analysis of broadband deployment, affordability, and adoption to make sound
recommendations to the SBO.
$71,733 for FY 2024 (0.5 FTE) as HB1723 partially funding this work for the 2024 fiscal year.

FNS063 Individual State Agency Fiscal Note 1 Bill # 2313 P S HB
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.
This bill relates to furthering digital equity and opportunity in Washington State.
Section 2 expands responsibilities of the Statewide Broadband Office (SBO) to develop and improve broadband adoption
and digital equity within the state.
Section 3 permits the SBO to coordinate with relevant state agencies to develop strategies and plans promoting deployment
of broadband infrastructure and greater broadband access and broadband adoption. This section also requires the office to
collaborate with all relevant state agencies in carrying out its purpose.
The Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) does not anticipate any associated impacts to caseloads, workload,
or information technology (IT) systems, and therefore estimates no fiscal impact.
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
of how workload assumptions translate into estimates. Distinguished between one time and ongoing functions.
II. C - Expenditures
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.
While DSHS is not explicitly mentioned in Section 2, some collaboration with the department is expected, given the
expanded responsibilities of the SBO to develop and improve broadband adoption and digital equity. In particular, DSHS
may be involved in efforts to provide outreach to hard-to-reach and low-income communities, areas where the department
typically has significant engagement and expertise. DSHS estimates that any effort put toward collaboration and
coordination would be able to be accomplished within existing resources.
While DSHS is not explicitly mentioned in Section 3, some collaboration with the department is expected, given the SBO’s
duties to coordinate with relevant state agencies for broadband development and adoption. DSHS may be involved in
initiatives targeting underserved communities, given its broad reach in social and health services across the state. DSHS
estimates that any effort put toward collaboration and coordination would be able to be accomplished within existing
resources.
