Bill overview
This bill, titled the Provide Rigorous Oversight To Optimize Connectivity and Offset Latency Act (or the PROTOCOL Act), aims to improve how the federal government tracks and shares information about broadband deployment projects. It requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to maintain more detailed and consistent maps and databases of funded broadband projects. The bill also mandates that states report on broadband availability and requires federal agencies to consult these maps when awarding broadband infrastructure funding, ensuring better coordination and data sharing across government agencies and states.
