Bill overview
The Tribal Connect Act of 2020 aims to expand access to the E-rate program, which provides discounted internet service to schools and libraries, for Tribal communities. It allows tribes to designate their libraries and certain community institutions as eligible for E-rate support, regardless of state eligibility requirements. The bill also establishes a new program to provide E-rate support to qualifying tribal community-serving institutions, ensuring these institutions can offer internet access to tribal members. Furthermore, it mandates the FCC to provide technical assistance and training to tribes participating in the program.
