Speed up the federal review process for building new broadband internet infrastructure.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Expediting Federal Broadband Deployment Reviews Act?
The House passed H.R. 1681 on April 20, 2026, and the bill is now in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. The Senate must act to schedule a vote, but the 60 vote threshold for advancement remains a significant hurdle. History shows that many bills passed by the House do not receive a vote in the Senate, making the future of this proposal uncertain.
