Summary
The bill requires the Federal Communications Commission to set up a competitive grant program that gives states money to reach out to low‑income residents who may qualify for the Lifeline broadband subsidy. States must apply with a plan showing how they will identify and inform eligible‑but‑not‑enrolled individuals, and at least 25% of applying states will receive funding. The aim is to boost enrollment and digital inclusion for underserved households.
