H.R. 9521: Broadband Infrastructure Extension Act
This bill would give state, local, and capital projects funding more time to be used for broadband infrastructure projects—for example, projects that expand or improve internet access.
What changes
- State Fiscal Recovery Fund: Money already set aside for broadband infrastructure projects could be spent through September 30, 2027.
- Local Fiscal Recovery Fund: The same extension would apply, allowing broadband-related funds to be spent through September 30, 2027.
- Capital Projects Fund: Funds for broadband infrastructure projects under this program could be spent until before January 1, 2028.
Practical effect
The bill does not create a new broadband program or add new money. Instead, it extends the deadline for using certain existing federal funds on broadband projects. That would give states and local governments more time to plan, start, and finish projects such as building internet lines, extending service to underserved areas, or upgrading infrastructure.
