Expanding Access to Distance Learning and Telemedicine Act

This bill changes a federal grant program run through the Department of Agriculture that helps rural areas get telemedicine and distance learning services. It would add cybersecurity support as a service the program can fund. It would also let grants support digital literacy, workforce development, and job training, including training workers who help build broadband in rural areas. The changes would take effect 6 months after the bill becomes law.
