Broadband Infrastructure Extension Act
To amend title VI of the Social Security Act to extend that date on which certain funds related to broadband infrastructure projects may be expended.
This bill, HB9521, aims to extend the deadline for spending certain funds on broadband infrastructure projects. These funds are part of the Social Security Act, specifically under title VI.

The bill would affect those who rely on the timely use of these funds to develop or improve broadband services. This includes local governments, non-profits, and businesses working on such projects. By extending the deadline, it could help more projects get finished, leading to better internet services in underserved areas.
As of now, the bill was introduced on June 29, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for further review. Key actions so far include its introduction in the House and the initial referral to a committee, where it will be reviewed and possibly amended before any further steps.
