Bill overview
The Assisting Broadband Connectivity Act of 2021 aims to improve access to broadband internet in rural areas by clarifying how state and federal funding can be used. Specifically, it prevents the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) from denying funding to projects simply because they’ve already received state money. It also allows applicants to use funds received by their state from the federal government to meet matching requirements for RUS broadband programs.
