Bill overview
This bill, the Community Broadband Mapping Act, amends existing rural development grant programs to allow the Department of Agriculture’s Rural Utilities Service to provide grants to local governments, community organizations, electric cooperatives, and small internet providers. These grants would be used to collect data about broadband infrastructure and service availability in rural areas, specifically focusing on areas not within urbanized areas with populations of 25,000 or more. The goal is to improve the accuracy of broadband mapping and support the expansion of broadband access.
