What this bill does
H.R. 6920, the SUCCESS for BEAD Act, would amend the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. It aims to allow remaining funds from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program to be used for competitive subgrants. These subgrants would support the success of broadband projects already funded by the program, with a focus on areas like public safety, national security, workforce development, and the effective use of artificial intelligence-supportive telecommunications infrastructure.
This bill specifically affects entities that have received or are eligible to receive BEAD Program funds. It allows them to use any unspent allocations for new subgrants to fund various infrastructure projects, including fiber optic networks, internet exchange points, and mobile wireless communications. It also supports workforce development programs for the telecommunications and AI sectors, and the implementation of Next Generation 9-1-1 systems. The bill also includes provisions related to challenges for fiber projects and clarifies waiver applicability for the Build America, Buy America Act.
As H.R. 6920 has just been introduced in the House of Representatives by Representative Garland “Andy” Barr, it is in the early stages of the legislative process. The bill has been referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. From there, it could be considered by the committee, potentially amended, and then brought to the full House for a vote. If passed by the House, it would then proceed to the Senate for consideration.
