- Requires the FCC, with NTIA, to collect data that federal agencies submit to the Broadband Funding Map so federal broadband funds are used efficiently.
- Requires the FCC to start a notice of inquiry within 270 days of enactment on the map's functionality, data quality, and transparency, and to finish it within 120 days after starting.
- Lets any Commissioner require a full Commission vote before the inquiry begins, in which case the inquiry proceeds only if a majority approves.
- Requires the Comptroller General to study federal agencies' roles in maintaining the map and to report findings to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee within 180 days.
