New Jersey Assembly Resolution AR23 urges Congress to renew funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program.

New Jersey Assembly Resolution AR23 urges Congress to renew funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). The ACP, launched by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2021, provides discounts on internet service for eligible households, aiming to close the digital divide. As of January 2024, 335,079 New Jersey households benefit from the program, which has saved these households $8.3 million per month on broadband costs. However, the ACP is set to expire in April 2024 due to its $14.2 billion budget being exhausted.
