Government would improve how it tracks broadband funding to prevent waste.
This bill would make the government improve how it tracks money spent on internet access across the country. It would require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to study the Broadband Funding Map and ask the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review how federal agencies use it. The goal is to ensure taxpayer money is spent efficiently and avoids funding duplicate internet projects.
Right now, federal agencies are supposed to submit data to the Broadband Funding Map and work together on internet access projects. If this bill becomes law, the Federal Communications Commission would have to start a formal study into how well the map works and the quality of its data. Also, the Government Accountability Office would conduct a study on how agencies follow rules and work together to improve how funds are used.
