Schatz Statement On FCC Implementing Safe Connections Act Provision Enabling Domestic Violence Survivors To Access Discounted Phone Service Through Federal Lifeline Program

Statement

Date: Sept. 10, 2024
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Criminal Justice

Survivors of domestic violence should be able to sever ties with their abusers – including their phone plans – while still having the ability to stay connected with their families and support network. I’m pleased the FCC is implementing a key component of our Safe Connections Act and enabling survivors to get the help and support they need.
