On July 4, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), a reconciliation package that renews the FCC’s general spectrum auction authority until September 30, 2034. The legislation directs the FCC to auction 800 megahertz of spectrum and exempts the 3.1-3.45 GHz and 7.4-8.4 GHz bands from potential reallocation. Additionally, the final version of the legislation removed proposed provisions aimed at preventing states from regulating artificial intelligence for 10 years.
