BROADBAND DEPLOYMENT ACT

Summary

The bill lets broadband grant recipients place, maintain, and use broadband lines along state highway rights‑of‑way, even when the land under the right‑of‑way is privately owned. Property owners must receive written notice before work begins and can request fair payment, but they cannot stop the installation. The goal is to bring high‑speed internet to rural and underserved urban areas.
