SCR 4 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

CONGRESS: Memorializes Congress to support the extension of funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) of 2021, which provides Louisiana residents access to broadband services.

This bill is a Senate resolution that asks Congress to extend funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program, a federal initiative designed to help Louisiana residents afford internet service. The text includes minor wording changes to specify the "private-sector" rather than just "private" in its official description. As a memorial resolution, it does not create new laws or directly change state funding but serves as a formal request to the federal government. The measure has passed the Senate and is currently awaiting action by the House of Representatives.
