Senate Bill 387 aims to give General Services more flexibility in setting lease terms, creating incentives for broadband providers to invest in much-needed infrastructure improvements.
Also, it is scheduled to allow the department to execute leases on behalf of other state departments such as Caltrans, Parks and Recreation and Fish and Wildlife, with their consent.

Such development could support digital equity, especially in underserved communities. This comes the same day the governor signed other legislation from Dodd that aims to clarify an existing law to ensure nurse midwives are able to continue providing essential healthcare services before and after pregnancy, enhancing mother and child well-being, especially in underserved communities.
