The bill proposes an appropriation of five million dollars ($5,000,000) from the general fund to the Office of Broadband Access and Expansion. This funding is designated to assist low-income individuals residing in low-population areas or on Indian Nation, Tribe, or Pueblo land in accessing affordable broadband services. The appropriation is intended for expenditure in fiscal year 2027 and subsequent years.

The bill specifies that the assistance will target low-income persons living in unincorporated areas or in cities, towns, or incorporated areas with populations of twenty thousand or less, as determined by the most recent federal decennial census. Additionally, it includes provisions for individuals living on land within the exterior boundaries of a reservation or pueblo grant of an Indian nation, tribe, or pueblo, as well as on land held in trust by the United States for these entities. Importantly, any unexpended balance from the appropriation at the end of a fiscal year will not revert to the general fund, allowing for continued support in subsequent years.
