Missouri Rural Broadband Access and Accountability Act

This act establishes a Missouri Broadband Grant Program to award competitive state grants for expanding high-speed internet service in underserved rural communities, with priority given to areas lacking reliable access. Providers receiving grant funds shall meet minimum standards for speed, network reliability, service coverage, transparent pricing, and affordable options for eligible low-income households, and shall submit periodic reports demonstrating compliance. The responsible state agency shall publish grant awards, performance requirements, and program results to promote accountability and ensure public funds deliver dependable broadband service.
