The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) will give an overview about and discuss the various broadband programs and funding included in the recently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The focal point of the briefing is the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment Program, which allocates $42.5 billion in funding to be distributed directly to the states. States will competitively award these funds as grants for broadband infrastructure, mapping and deployment. NTIA will give an overview of the broadband programs and then the briefing will open up for discussion and Q&A. NTIA wants to receive feedback directly from state legislators on how they can make the program the most efficient and impactful for states and citizens.

Moderators:
• Representative Aaron Ling Johanson, Hawaii State Representative
• Representative Adam Koenig, Kentucky State Representative

Speaker:
• Doug Kinkoph, Associate Administrator, Office of Internet Connectivity and Growth, NTIA

Strained state budgets have reignited the conversation on effective ways to ensure public safety while reducing spending. Corrections spending typically accounts for around 5% of state general fund budgets annually. Policy changes to reduce admissions and shorten length of stay in prisons and jails, as well as changing responses to community supervision rule violations can be both fiscally beneficial and encourage successful outcomes for individuals involved with the justice system. This session will explore some of these policy changes and their fiscal impacts.

Now, before we’re in the thick of November’s election fever, is an excellent time to pause and reflect on this year’s primary season. What did we learn from the states, starting from Iowa’s caucuses in February all the way through September’s state primaries? We’ll discuss the timing for primaries, whether state and presidential primaries are best run jointly or as two separate events, how ranked-choice voting performed this year, independent voters' role in political party decisionmaking and more. Expect to take away ideas for 2022 or 2024.

Join us on Zoom to discuss key considerations for absentee, or mail, voting: the timeline for ballot processing. More attention than ever is focused on voting by mail. This meeting will address technical aspects of the process, and what states that expect to see an increase in absentee voting this year can do now to efficiently manage the flow of ballots in November (and maybe—just maybe—avoid delaying the release of election results). We will begin with when ballots are mailed out and review each step up until every ballot has been counted. Come with questions for our panelists and the NCSL elections team.

State capitols are not only “the people’s house,” they are vibrant, busy workplaces for legislators and staff. But in the age of COVID-19, physically working under the dome can require operating under often-evolving guidance, protocols, or rules. Sean Sullivan, chief human resources officer for the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), gives guidance and shares insights about what human resources professionals and legislative decision-makers need to know to successfully help employees, public officials and others return, or continue to operate in, their workplaces.

The 2018 federal Family First Prevention Services Act is catalyzing major changes in child welfare systems. One provision of the bill aims to reduce the use of congregate care by restricting federal reimbursements for non-family placements. In the fourth installment of NCSL’s COVID-19 and child welfare series, we focus on long-standing challenges in congregate care settings, how COVID-19 exacerbates these problems, and how Family First could address them.
