Bipartisan PLAN Act Reintroduced in House

WASHINGTON, April 11, 2025 – Congressmen from both sides of the political aisle have gotten together to reintroduce legislation designed to help the government close the digital divide. 

Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich., together with Rep. Scott Peters, D-Calif., reintroduced the Proper Leadership to Align Networks (PLAN) for Broadband Act to the House on Wednesday with the goal of developing a national strategy for closing the nation’s digital divide. 

"In today's digital age, having access to reliable broadband service is integral to our economy, education, and most aspects of our daily lives,” Walberg said. “We must develop a roadmap to improve the efficiency and coordination of federal broadband programs so that we can streamline efforts and accelerate the deployment of broadband.”
