From the meeting
In its August 31, 2026 FY 2028 budget request, ACDHH asked to modernize the Telecommunication Fund for the Deaf (TFD) because the fund is projected to hit a deficit by the end of FY 2028. The proposal would broaden the fee base beyond wired exchange access services to wireless, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and related telecommunications services. This is still open planning tied to legislation, not a procurement, but it is a current buying trigger because ACDHH said it is working with lawmakers, JLBC, Legislative Council, and telecommunications industry leaders on the model.
