WASHINGTON, February 14, 2024 – The Georgia House passed a measure Tuesday that would exempt certain federal grants for broadband investment from state income taxes, passing by a vote of 162-1.

If enacted, the legislation would waive state income taxes on any grant acquired through the Broadband, Equity, Access and Deployment program or the American Rescue Plan Act, retroactively effective from January 2022. The bill must now pass through the state Senate.
