Requires all new residential construction to have pre-installed sufficient raceways to allow post-construction broadband cable deployment.

Summary

The bill mandates that developers of new residential construction install four‑inch raceways sized to accommodate at least two broadband providers during the building process. Developers must notify the local incumbent exchange carrier and may lease or purchase existing raceways, but cannot grant exclusive control that blocks other providers. The Commissioner of Community Affairs will issue rules governing the design, installation, and access of these raceways.
