SUCCESS for BEAD Act
The SUCCESS for BEAD Act (S 3565) modifies how leftover funds from the federal BEAD broadband program can be used. It requires eligible entities to establish a competitive subgrant program using remaining funds for public safety (including Next Generation 9-1-1 systems), workforce development in telecommunications and AI sectors, and AI-supportive infrastructure projects. The bill specifies priorities for underserved areas, military installations, and cybersecurity, while including a public challenge process to prevent overbuilding of fiber infrastructure. It also establishes requirements for coordination with emergency communications centers for Next Generation 9-1-1 implementation.
