Overview: SCR 96, a concurrent resolution urging the United States Congress to support continued funding of the Affordable Connectivity Program, was introduced in the Louisiana State Legislature on June 18, 2025. The resolution has been referred to the LBT/PSM committee.
Purpose and Intent: The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to express the Louisiana State Legislature's support for the continued funding and operation of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), a federal initiative that provides subsidies to low-income households to help them afford high-speed internet access. The resolution aims to encourage the U.S. Congress to maintain its commitment to this important program, which is seen as crucial for bridging the digital divide and ensuring equitable access to essential online services.
Key Provisions:
- Urges the United States Congress to support continued funding and operation of the Affordable Connectivity Program
- Recognizes the importance of the ACP in providing affordable high-speed internet access to low-income households
- Highlights the program's role in promoting digital inclusion and access to essential online services
Affected Parties and Impacts: The primary beneficiaries of this resolution would be low-income households in Louisiana and across the United States who rely on the Affordable Connectivity Program to access high-speed internet. Continued funding for the ACP would help ensure that these households can maintain their internet connectivity and access critical online resources.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The concurrent resolution has been referred to the LBT/PSM committee, which will likely hold a hearing and consider the resolution before it can be voted on by the full Louisiana State Legislature. The timeline for the resolution's progress will depend on the committee's schedule and the legislative calendar.
