Full Analysis
HR9776 was introduced in the House on July 20, 2026, by Rep. Crawford (R-AR-1) and referred to the Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure and Energy and Commerce. The bill proposes a grant program for rural digital infrastructure but does not specify an authorized funding amount. As a referred bill in early stage, it requires committee hearings, markup, and floor votes before any potential appropriation. The single cosponsor, Rep. Stanton (D-AZ-4), indicates limited bipartisan support. No direct convergence exists with the recent Executive Order on defense supply chains, which addresses critical materials for defense, not rural broadband. Without a funding figure or legislative momentum, no specific tickers can be reliably linked. The bill's path to enactment is uncertain and likely months away.
