This bill, titled the "Stopping the Theft and Destruction of Broadband Act of 2025," aims to enhance the protection of critical communication infrastructure. It achieves this by amending section 1362 of title 18, United States Code , to explicitly prohibit the destruction of facilities used to provide broadband internet access service. The amendment broadens the scope of the existing law by inserting language to include facilities for broadband internet access service after "means of communication." It also removes the prior restriction that the facilities must be "used or intended to be used for the military or civil defense functions of the United States," thereby extending protection to all broadband infrastructure. Furthermore, the bill defines "broadband internet access service" as a mass-market retail service that transmits data to and from internet endpoints, excluding dial-up, and includes any functional equivalents determined by the Federal Communications Commission.
