Promoting Access to Broadband Act of 2026 aims to boost Lifeline program enrollment by funding outreach grants to states.
The Promoting Access to Broadband Act of 2026 directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to create a grant program for states to inform individuals about their potential eligibility for the Lifeline program. The grants aim to reach eligible but not enrolled individuals, providing them with information on how to apply and details about the program. The FCC must enforce this section as if it were part of the Communications Act of 1934. The act also authorizes appropriations for the first five fiscal years of the grant program.
