Broadband Deployment Act allows broadband providers to deploy infrastructure on highway rights-of-way with certain conditions.

The Broadband Deployment Act permits broadband service providers to install, maintain, and use broadband infrastructure along highway rights-of-way, subject to obtaining the necessary agreements or permits. The Act defines key terms such as "broadband grant recipient" and "broadband infrastructure." It outlines the rights and obligations of both broadband providers and property owners, including the requirement for property owners to notify broadband providers of any intent to claim just compensation for property value diminution within 45 days of deployment notice.
