This bill would nullify two specific Federal Communications Commission rulings that streamlined the approval process for broadband infrastructure deployment. The legislation targets FCC actions that reduced barriers to wireless and wireline broadband investment by accelerating permits and environmental review timelines. The bill would restore authority to state and local governments to have greater input and control over broadband infrastructure projects in their jurisdictions, potentially slowing deployment timelines but giving communities more say in how and where broadband infrastructure is built. The measure does not authorize new spending or establish specific timelines for implementation, as it simply reverses existing FCC rules rather than creating new programs.
