Broadband Internet Connections for Rural America Act This bill reauthorizes through FY2029 and makes other changes to various programs of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) that support broadband internet expansion in rural areas. Specifically, the bill reauthorizes and modifies a program that provides grants, loans, and loan guarantees for broadband expansion. Modifications include revising the criteria used to prioritize applications and projects and changing the name of the program to the ReConnect Rural Broadband Program. Further, the bill terminates on June 30, 2022, a separate USDA pilot program that supports broadband expansion in rural areas; any program funds that remain available after that date shall be used for the ReConnect Rural Broadband Program. The bill also reauthorizes programs that support (1) rural broadband access, including for economically challenged communities, distance learning, and telehealth; (2) innovative technologies to decrease broadband deployment costs and increase broadband speeds; and (3) expansion of middle mile broadband infrastructure (i.e., connections between national and regional internet backbones and schools, businesses, residences, and other local connection sites). Additionally, USDA must establish a system to disseminate information and technical assistance concerning its broadband expansion programs and may award grants to units of governments and other eligible entities to collect data about broadband availability (e.g., location of infrastructure, costs, and speeds).

Supported efforts to ensure agricultural producers have access to the capital required to continue operating during and recover from a disaster, including the Paycheck Protection Clarification for Producers Act (H.R. 1246). Supported the Feed Emergency Enhancement During Disasters Act (H.R. 1240, S. 359) to provide farmers with additional flexibility relating to prevented planting requirements due to shortages in feed, as well as related administrative actions. Supported the Broadband for Rural America Act (H.R. 3369), which increases funding for and streamlines broadband development programs, including bringing programs together under the single roof of USDA.
