This bill directs the FCC, working with NTIA, to collect better and more timely data for the Broadband Funding Map, which tracks federal spending on internet expansion. The FCC must open a public review within 270 days to assess the map's completeness, accuracy, and usability, and the GAO must study within 180 days how well agencies contribute data and whether the FCC has sufficient authority to collect it.
Federal agencies involved in broadband funding, including the Department of Agriculture, HUD, and HHS, would need to better coordinate and share data. Rural and underserved communities awaiting internet expansion could be indirectly affected.
Better map data could help prevent federal programs from duplicating internet infrastructure funding in the same locations. The bill does not specify what happens if agencies fail to comply with new data-sharing requirements.

Right now: it passed the Senate, and the official record shows nothing new since. If the House changes it, it goes back to the Senate before reaching the President.
