This resolution calls on the President and the United States Congress to extend funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) of 2021, which is crucial for providing access to broadband services for citizens. The resolution highlights the importance of affordable, reliable, high-speed broadband for full participation in modern life, particularly in addressing the persistent "digital divide" that hampers economic competitiveness and access to essential public services like healthcare and education. It notes that the ACP has been successful, with nearly 241,000 households in Minnesota and 23 million nationwide enrolled, but warns that the current funding could be exhausted by early 2024.

The resolution urges the Minnesota congressional delegation to support continued funding for the ACP to ensure that low-income households can maintain their access to the digital marketplace. Additionally, it directs the Secretary of State of Minnesota to prepare and send copies of this memorial to key federal officials, including the President and congressional leaders, to advocate for the program's ongoing financial support.
