Establishes the "broadband deployment assistance act" to expedite broadband permit processing.

The bill, known as the "broadband deployment assistance act," aims to accelerate the deployment of broadband infrastructure by requiring municipalities to process substantially similar broadband permit applications together and on an expedited basis. It defines key terms such as "batch broadband permit processing" and "substantially similar broadband permit applications." The bill authorizes municipalities to process these applications simultaneously, which is expected to help bridge the digital divide and connect communities to high-speed internet more quickly.
