Broadband MAP Act of 2026
The Broadband MAP Act of 2026 directs the Federal Communications Commission to review how broadband maps are updated and how providers can challenge those maps. Within 120 days of becoming law, the Commission must start a rulemaking process to evaluate these procedures while considering the fairness of changes, how the maps affect funding decisions, and the impact on internet service providers. The bill aims to ensure the mapping system accurately reflects where broadband service is available or could be provided without favoring any specific group.
