Community Connect Grant Program Act of 2023

This bill updates the broadband speed standards for the Community Connect Grant Program, which provides funding to expand high-speed internet in rural areas. It raises the minimum required downstream speed from "less than" to "less than 100 Mbps" and upstream speed to "at least 20 Mbps," while increasing service speed requirements from 10/1 Mbps to 25/3 Mbps for grant recipients. The program's funding authorization is extended from ending in 2023 to 2028. This directly affects rural communities and service providers receiving these grants by setting clearer, higher technical standards for qualifying broadband service.
