Bill overview
This bill, the Streamlining Permitting to Enable Efficient Deployment of Broadband Infrastructure Act of 2020, aims to speed up the deployment of broadband internet by reducing environmental review requirements for certain communications facilities. Specifically, it exempts new facilities within public rights-of-way that meet certain size limitations, replacement facilities that are similar to existing ones, and expansions of existing facilities up to 30 feet. It also streamlines the process for obtaining easements on federal property where similar easements already exist.
