Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Communications Commission relating to "Addressing the Homework Gap Through the E-Rate Program".

This measure would cancel an FCC rule that let schools and libraries use E‑Rate discounts to buy Wi‑Fi hotspots and mobile data for students, school staff, and library patrons to use off‑site, like at home. The FCC rule also required “acceptable use” policies so the hotspots were used mainly for schoolwork. If this measure becomes law, that rule would be wiped out, and E‑Rate funds could no longer be used for take‑home hotspots and service.

Key points:

• What changes: Ends the FCC policy that allowed discounted, take‑home hotspots through the E‑Rate program.
• Who is affected: Students, school staff, library patrons, and the schools and libraries that would have provided these hotspots.
• Policy targeted: The FCC’s “Addressing the Homework Gap Through the E‑Rate Program” rule.
