Unlikely to pass

While there is general support for expanding internet access, most bills introduced in the House do not make it past the committee stage without a major push from leadership.

Key Points

This bill aims to make sure people living on Tribal lands have the same access to internet and phone services as those in other parts of the country. It adds Native American communities to a list of priority areas that the government must help connect.
Right now, federal law focuses on helping rural and high-cost areas get connected. By adding Indian country to this list, the government would be legally required to treat these communities as a priority for telecommunications funding and support.
Many Tribal areas currently lack reliable high-speed internet, which makes it harder for residents to go to school, see a doctor online, or work from home. This change helps address that gap by making it a core goal of national communications policy.
