Summary
The bill raises the population threshold defining a "rural" area or community from 2,500 to 25,000 inhabitants (and several other lower thresholds, such as 10,000, 20,000, 5,000, and 3,000) across multiple USDA rural broadband, telecommunications, water, community facilities, and rural housing programs, and across a DOE program and a Reclamation rural water program. It excludes certain military base and incarcerated populations from those counts, eliminates a cap on the military base population exclusion, and clarifies that U.S. territories and freely associated states are eligible for certain programs. The text was truncated, so provisions after Section 6 were not reviewed.
