What it does
The Expanding Access to Distance Learning and Telemedicine Act would amend the existing Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grants Program to broaden eligibility for financial assistance to include the construction and enhancement of facilities and technological systems for telemedicine, cybersecurity infrastructure, and distance learning initiatives—such as digital literacy, workforce development, and job training—in rural communities. The bill specifically updates the program’s language to explicitly incorporate cybersecurity support and workforce development related to broadband construction into grant-eligible activities. These changes would take effect six months after enactment.
