Broadband Provisions in the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024

On Saturday, March 23, 2024, President Joe Biden signed into law the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (H.R. 2882), legislation that provides funding through September 30, 2024, for projects and activities of departments and agencies of the Federal Government. H.R. 2882 completes the appropriations process for fiscal year 2024 (FY2024). Earlier in March, President Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (H.R. 4366). As we reported earlier, H.R. 4366 provided some direct spending on broadband. The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 is much lighter on broadband; this quick synopsis is a companion to our earlier reporting.
