What it does
The Streamlining Rural Broadband Act of 2025 would terminate the Community Connect Grant program administered by the Department of Agriculture by repealing its statutory authority under the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 and making conforming amendments to related provisions in other laws. It would affect rural communities and entities that previously relied on this grant program for broadband infrastructure funding. Notably, the bill would redirect any unobligated funds from the terminated program to the USDA’s ReConnect Program broadband loan and grant pilot program without requiring additional appropriations.
