Community Connect Grant Program Act of 2025

This legislation, titled the "Community Connect Grant Program Act of 2025," reauthorizes the Community Connect Grant Program by extending its funding through fiscal year 2030 . The primary goal of this program is to facilitate the deployment of broadband services in unserved rural areas across the United States. The bill significantly updates the minimum broadband speed requirements for projects funded under the program, mandating a 100-Mbps downstream and 20-Mbps upstream transmission capacity. It also revises the definition of existing eligible broadband service in a rural area to 25-Mbps downstream and 3-Mbps upstream . Furthermore, the amendment clarifies that future broadband service commitments under other funding programs can be considered when determining an eligible service area, ensuring a more comprehensive assessment of broadband availability.
