This bill would nullify two Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decisions that streamlined the process for deploying broadband infrastructure across the country. Specifically, it targets the FCC's 2018 rules that reduced barriers to wireless and wireline broadband investment by expediting permits and reducing some local review requirements. The bill aims to restore state and local governments' authority to have greater input and control over broadband deployment projects in their communities. No specific funding is allocated in this legislation, as it is primarily a regulatory measure that reverses previous FCC actions rather than creating new programs. The bill was introduced in April 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
