Summary

The bill lets public‑housing utility allowances cover monthly high‑speed internet service, equipment, and a one‑time installation fee for households that have children eligible for free or reduced‑price school lunches. It limits the reimbursable amount to the lowest local price and requires providers to supply child‑safety filtering technology. Families may still choose more expensive or bundled services if they wish.
