Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill exempts from state income and franchise taxes income received in the
form of a grant issued by this state; a city, village, town, or county of this state; a tribal
government in this state; or the federal government for broadband expansion in this
state. The bill also exempts from income and franchise taxes income received in the
form of funding from the federal government for any high-cost universal service
funding for broadband expansion. Current law provides an income and franchise tax
exemption for income received in the form of allocations issued by this state with
moneys received from the federal coronavirus relief fund to be used for broadband
expansion. The bill prohibits claiming the exemptions under the bill and the
exemption under current law for the same grant.
