The legislature hereby finds and declares that access to high-speed broadband service is a necessity and essential to participation in the economy, education and civic life.

State regulators require unambiguous authority and a clear mandate to establish and enforce appropriate oversight and regulation of broadband and voice over internet protocol service in order to meet the state's goals of universal, high-quality and affordable access. § 3. The public service law is amended by adding a new article 12 to read as follows: ARTICLE 12 BROADBAND RESILIENCY, PUBLIC SAFETY AND QUALITY ACT SECTION 250. DEFINITIONS. 251.
