FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
Small businesses which are landlords or telecommunication providers could be affected by this proposal.
DESCRIPTION
This proposal would require landlords who have received state or federal subsidies for construction or rental of their housing complexes to allow telecommunication service providers to compete for tenants' business on a nondiscriminatory basis.
Landlords and service providers that cannot agree to terms could, at their expense, appoint an arbitrator or request that a state district court judge appoint an arbitrator.
Landlords and service providers would be prohibited from developing agreements designed to circumvent Federal Communications Commission rules on home wiring for telecommunication services.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. This legislation would not affect Total State Revenue.
