AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 116J.3952, subdivision 2, which pertains to the lower population density broadband grant program. The amendment modifies the state's matching fund requirements for broadband grants by increasing the maximum percentage of project costs that the grants can cover from 75% to 90%.
