Lets communities use leftover broadband money for public safety, AI projects, and workforce training.
This bill would let states and territories use leftover money from a federal broadband program for new projects. These projects could include improving 9-1-1 emergency systems, training workers for tech jobs, and building infrastructure that supports artificial intelligence. This changes how these funds can be spent, focusing them on public safety, national security, and new technologies.
Today, states with leftover federal broadband money might have to return it or see it reallocated. This bill would let them use those remaining funds to create new grant programs. These programs would support projects like upgrading 9-1-1 systems, building infrastructure for artificial intelligence, and training workers for tech jobs, which is a new use for these funds. It would also make a temporary rule permanent, allowing broadband programs to continue buying certain equipment even if it's not fully made in the U.S.
