Bill overview
This bill, the Broadband Expansion and Deployment Fee Equity and Efficiency Act of 2025, aims to ensure fairness in how states and local governments use funds from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program. It restricts states from charging excessive or discriminatory fees to broadband companies seeking to build out internet infrastructure. The bill requires any fees charged to be competitively neutral, based on actual costs, and transparently disclosed to applicants, while also distinguishing between one-time and recurring fees.
