Rulemaking Notice: Clarifying PWB Broadband Emergency Program rules
Rules come into effect Oct. 4
The Washington State Public Works Board (PWB) has filed (CR-103) and adopted final rules to clarify program requirements and define key terms for the broadband emergency funding program.
The final rules update WAC 399-80-010 and clarify the definitions of “natural disaster,” “unforeseen event” and “damage.” This clarity will support of public, private and nonprofit broadband providers that experience a qualifying emergency event and potential requests for PWB emergency broadband funding.
PWB initiated rulemaking in February 2025 and the rules will come into effect on October 4.
