HCR 51 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Urges continued Congressional support of the affordable connectivity program

This resolution urges Missouri's congressional delegation to support continued funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program, a federal initiative that helps low-income households afford internet service and purchase devices. The program provides monthly discounts on internet bills and one-time credits for computers to eligible families, aiming to reduce the digital divide across the state. Because the current funding could run out by spring 2024, the bill asks lawmakers to advocate for additional financial resources to keep the program operational. It does not change any laws or allocate money directly but serves as a formal request for political support of the existing federal assistance.
