The purpose of this legislation, known as the Strengthening Infrastructure, Readiness, and Emergency Notifications Act of 2026, is to allow states to use leftover funds from a federal broadband program for projects that enhance emergency warning systems and connectivity. This aims to improve public safety and readiness for disasters. Key provisions of the law include the ability for states to submit proposals to use any remaining funds from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program for specific emergency-related projects.
