The Committee on Technology and Infrastructure met this evening.
House Bill 4001 creates the Legislative Oversight Commission on Department of Economic Development Accountability. The bill provides for several special revenue funds, which will need to be appropriated from the Legislature.
Department of Economic Development is focused on last-mile services. There are 300,000 addresses in WV, which do not have access to Broadband.
There was an attempt to amend the amended bill to remove the commission creation. The amendment to the amendment was a loss due to a tie (9-9). The bill advances to the Finance Committee.
