What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Broadband Infrastructure Extension Act," aims to amend title VI of the Social Security Act. The primary purpose is to extend the deadlines for spending money on specific broadband infrastructure projects. It targets the State Fiscal Recovery Fund, the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund, and the Capital Projects Fund. By extending these dates, the bill allows more time for these funds to be used for broadband-related work.
