Transparency & AccountabilityNo change for most people — the FCC would review its map of U.S. money spent on fast internet, and Congress's watchdog would study it
Transparency & Accountability
The FCC would have to ask the public how well its map of federal internet spending works. Any one of its leaders could call a vote first, and the review would go ahead only if most of them agreed.
More about this bill
Most people would see no change in daily life. The bill aims to fix an online map that shows where federal money for fast internet goes. The FCC (the agency that oversees phone and internet service) runs the map. It is meant to show every project paid for with U.S. funds in one place. That way, money is not spent twice on the same area. Within 270 days, the FCC would have to open a formal public review of how well the map works. Any one of its leaders could first call for a vote. The review could then go ahead only if most of them agreed. It would ask if agencies send full data on time and if the public can use it. It would also ask if outside map data should be added. The review would have to wrap up within 120 days. Congress's watchdog would also study if agencies report their internet spending as the law already requires.
