Bill overview
The Rural Development Modernization Act aims to update population thresholds used in several Department of Agriculture programs to better reflect the needs of rural communities. Specifically, it increases the population thresholds for broadband, telemedicine, and other programs, eliminates a cap on military base population exclusions, and clarifies definitions related to rural areas. The bill also includes technical amendments to ensure consistency and improve the administration of these programs, particularly concerning territories and freely associated states.
