Home Internet Accessibility Act
To require the Comptroller General to submit to Congress a report on the capacity of federally assisted housing to support broadband service, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9493, aims to have the Comptroller General prepare a report for Congress about how well federally assisted housing can support broadband services. This means checking if homes and apartments that get federal help can provide reliable internet access. The bill is meant to make sure everyone has access to high-speed internet, no matter where they live.
The report will affect policymakers and housing providers by offering insights on how to improve broadband access in areas supported by federal housing programs. This could lead to better internet services for people living in these areas, especially in places that currently lack good connectivity.
HB9493 was introduced on June 25, 2026, and has been sent to the House Committee on Financial Services for further review. It is still in the early stages of the legislative process, and more steps are needed before it can become a law.
