Bill overview
The E-BRIDGE Act aims to expand high-speed internet access in rural areas by authorizing the Department of Commerce to provide grants to public-private partnerships and consortiums. These grants can be used for planning, building, or improving broadband infrastructure, and require that ownership of assets acquired with grant funds be held by a public entity. The bill also allows for combining grant funds with other federal programs and offers flexibility in determining the non-federal contribution to project costs.
