The purpose of this legislation is to improve access to broadband internet by making it easier for companies to install and modify broadband infrastructure. It aims to ensure that states and local governments streamline their fees related to this infrastructure, which is necessary to qualify for federal grant funds under the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program. Key provisions of the legislation require that any fees charged by states or local governments for the authorization to place or modify broadband infrastructure must meet specific criteria.
