Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "NY broadband resiliency, public safety and quality act". § 2. Legislative findings. 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. Closing gaps in broadband availability is a matter of deployment, affordability and ensuring networks are resilient, high quality and facilitate public safety. Because voice over internet protocol has replaced traditional voice telephone service for a large segment of the population, ensuring its reliability is in the public interest and consistent with public safety goals. 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. OVERSIGHT OF BROADBAND AND VOIP SERVICE. § 250. DEFINITIONS. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS ARTICLE THE FOLLOWING TERMS SHALL HAVE THE FOLLOWING MEANINGS: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
