The bill establishes the New Jersey Affordable Connectivity Program within the Department of Human Services, aimed at providing discounted broadband services to low-income and very low-income households. The program will offer eligible households a discount of up to $30 on their monthly broadband bills, contingent upon their application approval by the department. To qualify, households must demonstrate their residency in New Jersey and meet income criteria set by the department. The department will approve applications on a rolling basis and will determine the specific discount amount for each household, with a requirement for annual reapplication.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $10 million from the General Fund to support the program's implementation. Broadband telecommunications service providers that partner with the department will receive a subsidy of up to $30 for each eligible household they serve. The department is also tasked with adopting necessary rules and regulations to ensure the program's effective operation.
