What it does
The Quality Broadband for Connected Communities Act would increase the minimum broadband service capacity requirements for projects funded under the Community Connect Grant Program, raising the download speed from 10 Mbps to 25 Mbps and the upload speed from 1 Mbps to 3 Mbps. The bill amends Section 604(a)(2) of the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 to reflect these updated standards. The changes would take effect six months after the bill’s enactment and aim to improve broadband access in rural and underserved communities. The bill has been referred to the House Committees on Agriculture and Energy and Commerce for further consideration.
