"Today, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr asked his commission colleagues to vote on two items that would reverse the agency's unlawful, Biden-era decisions to expand COVID spending programs,"
"Those FCC decisions spent scarce taxpayer dollars on funding unsupervised screen time for kids without accounting for the significant attendant risks."
"the Biden FCC hotspot program endangered kids, duplicated existing federal funding, and violated the law."
"In May, the Senate passed my Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution overturning the illegal Biden hotspot rule. I urge the House to act on the resolution and prevent this or similar harmful rules in the future."
Brendan Carr asked FCC colleagues to vote on two items intended to reverse Biden-era decisions that expanded COVID spending programs to fund Wi‑Fi hotspots. Carr argued those decisions misused taxpayer dollars to finance unsupervised screen time for children and posed attendant risks. Carr coordinated with Senator Ted Cruz, who earlier secured Senate passage of a resolution to kill the hotspot program in May, though the House did not act. Carr’s action would end the current program but would not legally prevent a future FCC chair from reviving a similar initiative, prompting Cruz to push for congressional codification.
