WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representatives Mike Carey (OH-15) and Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) introduced bipartisan legislation to renew the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), a federal initiative that helped low-income households access high-speed internet. The ACP, established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, ran out of funding in May, affecting over 23 million American households. Companion legislation has been introduced in the Senate by Senators Ben Ray Luján (NM), J.D. Vance (OH), Peter Welch (VT), Roger Wicker (MS), and Jacky Rosen (NV).
