California AB2790 establishes a program to provide discounted telecommunications rates to qualifying educational and community organizations.

California AB2790 amends the Public Utilities Code to create a program administered by the commission to provide discounted rates for telecommunications services to qualifying schools, school districts, county offices of education, community colleges, public libraries, hospitals, health clinics, and community organizations. The program aims to bridge the digital divide by prioritizing access for rural, inner-city, low-income, and disabled Californians. The California Teleconnect Fund Administrative Committee, an advisory board, will advise the commission.
