About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · July 16, 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
The Broadband MAP Act of 2026 directs the Federal Communications Commission to review and improve how it updates maps showing where broadband internet service is available across the United States. Within 120 days of the bill's enactment, the FCC must begin a formal rulemaking process to evaluate the current mapping procedures, including the system that allows companies and others to challenge the accuracy of these maps. As the FCC conducts this review, it must consider how any changes would affect broadband providers, how the maps are used to distribute federal funding for broadband expansion, and the fairness of any proposed modifications. This bill aims to ensure the broadband maps are as accurate as possible, since they serve as the foundation for determining where broadband infrastructure investment is needed and where federal funding should be directed.
