This bill would create new public dashboards to show how federal money for broadband is being used and where internet service is expanding. It also aims to speed up federal permits for broadband projects by giving agencies new tools to track applications and avoid delays. This means more transparency for the public and potentially faster internet rollout in underserved areas.

This resolution would allow three specific Senate staff members to testify in a federal court case called United States v. Crouse. It also would let the Senate's own legal team represent these employees during their testimony. This changes the usual rule that Senate permission is needed for its employees to appear in court.

This bill would require the Department of the Interior to study how to expand the Lewis & Clark Regional Water System. This system provides water to communities and businesses in Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota. The study would determine if an expansion project is possible and how much it would cost, potentially leading to better water access.

This bill would require a federal study. It would look at bringing Missouri River water to homes and businesses in Western South Dakota. The study would help decide if a new water project is possible. The federal government would pay up to half of the study's cost.
