Broadband Provisions in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023

On Thursday, December 29, 2022, President Joe Biden signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (H.R. 2617). Most importantly, the government funding package, which includes all 12 fiscal year 2023 appropriations bills, keeps the federal government running through September 30, 2023. But the legislation also includes some interesting broadband provisions that will impact Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding, rural broadband projects, the device side of the digital divide, telehealth, and researching the effects of media on children.
