AI Summary
This bill, the Broadband Buildout Accountability Act, proposes to apply the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to the actions and decisions of the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information in carrying out the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program.
