Community Connect Grant Program Act of 2025
This bill amends the Rural Electrification Act to update the Community Connect Grant Program's broadband speed requirements. It raises the minimum downstream speed to 100 Mbps and upstream speed to 20 Mbps for new grants, while increasing existing program standards from 10/1 Mbps to 25/3 Mbps. The bill also extends the program's deadline from 2023 to 2030 and broadens eligibility to include future broadband commitments under other funding programs. These changes directly affect rural communities and providers seeking federal broadband funding under this specific grant program.
