Bridging the Broadband Gap Act of 2025

HR 2750, the Bridging the Broadband Gap Act of 2025, allows states or local entities using Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act broadband funds to provide vouchers to low-income households in areas lacking adequate broadband service. These vouchers cover 50% of satellite or fixed wireless equipment costs (like routers) and up to $30 monthly for service, prioritizing households in communities with below-median income. The bill restricts vouchers to unserved or underserved locations and limits coverage to a single 12-month period per household. It does not create new funding but directs existing BEAD Program grants toward these targeted household subsidies.
