Senate Commerce Clears Bill Requiring BEAD Project Dashboard
NTIA would have to publish states’ semiannual reports
WASHINGTON, July 22, 2026 – The Senate Commerce Committee cleared a bill Wednesday that would create a public dashboard for tracking projects under the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program.
The Accelerating Broadband Permits Act would also require the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to create a tool to help each state broadband office identify and track the federal permits its funded projects would need.
