Establishes NJ Affordable Connectivity Program to provide discounted broadband services to certain households; appropriates $10 million.
This bill establishes New Jersey's Affordable Connectivity Program to provide up to $30 monthly discounts on broadband bills for low-income households (earning 50% or less of area median income) and very low-income households (earning 30% or less). The Department of Human Services will partner with broadband providers to offer these discounts, requiring households to apply with proof of income, residency, and eligibility. The program is funded by a $10 million appropriation from the General Fund, with providers receiving subsidies per eligible household. Households must reapply annually to maintain their discount.
