H.R. 1044 · 117th Congress
Broadband MAPS Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Broadband - Measuring Availability and Aligning Policies Task Force Act or the Broadband MAPS Act
This bill requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish a task force that oversees implementation and use of broadband availability maps.
Specifically, the task force must (1) oversee specified data collection and analysis, including creating and updating broadband availability maps; (2) identify relevant FCC actions and ensure they are informed by the maps; (3) provide cost estimates for maintaining the maps; and (4) provide necessary recommendations to ensure the FCC can produce sufficiently granular and accurate maps to determine areas that lack broadband internet access service.
