Summary

SB 716 expands the state’s Lifeline program to let internet service providers offer a standalone broadband plan as a subsidized lifeline service. A provider can qualify if it offers at least one plan that delivers 100 Mbps downstream, 20 Mbps upstream and costs $30 or less per month, with the Public Utilities Commission setting any needed adjustments. The change targets low‑income households that need affordable high‑speed internet and creates new oversight and reporting duties for the commission.
