What the document says
“This Act may be cited as the ``Rural Broadband Protection Act of 2025''.”
The whole of section 1. It supplies a short name for citing the Act and does nothing else. The Act was approved on May 11, 2026, as Public Law 119-89, and the short title it carries names the year 2025, the year the bill was introduced.
What the document actually says
“This Act may be cited as the ``Rural Broadband Protection Act of 2025''.”
That sentence, in plain words
This law has a short name. The name is the Rural Broadband Protection Act of 2025.
What this is about
Laws get short names so people can talk about them. A short name does not change any rule. It is a label and nothing more.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
