Bill overview
The Serving Rural America Act aims to expand broadband internet access in rural areas by establishing a grant program overseen by the Federal Communications Commission. This program will provide funding to eligible partnerships – consisting of state or tribal governments and internet service providers – for projects that deliver at least 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload speeds to unserved communities. The bill prioritizes projects that maximize broadband service levels and includes requirements for public input and data reporting to ensure accountability and prevent duplication of existing infrastructure.
