AI Summary
This bill requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to make the provision of Wi-Fi access on school buses eligible for E-rate support.

The bill defines a "school bus" as a passenger motor vehicle used to transport students to or from school or school-related events. Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the FCC must commence a rulemaking to include school bus Wi-Fi as an eligible service under the E-rate program, despite limitations in the existing law regarding authorized recipients and uses of the discounted services.
