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.
