Pallone Pledges to Pass ACP Extension Act

WASHINGTON, February 22, 2024 – Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr., D-New Jersey, said Wednesday that he is doing everything in his power to include a provision to extend the Affordable Connectivity Program in the upcoming omnibus funding bill expected to pass Congress next week.

“We’ll attach it to anything,” Pallone said, referring to the ACP Extension Act which would provide $7 billion in funding to prolong the federal program. The ACP offers $30-75 monthly subsidies to eligible households to assist with internet subscription costs.
