| telecommunications and information administration standards using the evidentiary bases |
| authorized by the United States department of the treasury for the capital projects fund. This |
| investment shall be used to augment or provide a match for federal funds for broadband investment |

| provide a report to the speaker of the house and senate president, with copies to the chairpersons |
| of the house and senate finance committees, identifying programs that are at risk of significant |
| underspending or noncompliance with federal or state requirements. The report, at a minimum must |
