Representative Louis Riggs reveals a legislative focus ahead of the upcoming session.

Riggs indicates broadband expansion remains a priority.

Riggs’ broadband package passed in the final week of the 2020 legislative session. It protects rural broadband funding that has been designated for use in Missouri and extends the sunset for the state broadband fund to 2027. The package also extends the 5G sunset to 2025, and it enables development districts.
