Digital Literacy and Equity Act of 2026

The Digital Literacy and Equity Act of 2026 establishes a federal commission to study digital literacy and equity in the United States, with specific focus on low-income and disadvantaged communities as defined in the bill. The commission will examine current federal, state, and local programs; review international initiatives; and identify best practices to improve digital literacy skills, particularly through early education and community outreach. Within two years, the commission must submit a report to Congress with findings and recommendations, including strategies to expand digital literacy access in underserved areas and a proposed national measurement method for digital literacy. This bill creates a study framework but does not mandate immediate policy changes or funding.
