WASHINGTON, July 28, 2024 – A Senate panel is scheduled to meet Wednesday to vote on two broadband-related bills and a handful of bills dealing with artificial intelligence, including one criminalizing the use of AI to publish "revenge porn."

Senate Commerce Committee Chair Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., is hoping to pass the PLAN for Broadband Act (S. 2238) and the Rural Broadband Protection Act of 2023 (S. 275) despite recent turmoil within the committee.
