This joint resolution cancels a Federal Communications Commission rule that expanded the E-Rate program to help students without home internet access. The rule would have allowed schools and libraries to use E-Rate funds for Wi-Fi hotspots and other off-campus internet services. The resolution stops that rule from taking effect.
Millions of students who lack home internet could lose access to online homework and learning resources. The decision affects whether federal money can be used to close the digital divide for low-income families.
