Whereas, access to computers and broadband access at home and at school enhances the learning environment for school age children; and

Whereas, it is important that South Carolina schoolchildren be given every possible educational advantage in order to become productive state citizens. Now, therefore,

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
