Voters should care about this bill because digital literacy is increasingly essential for daily life, from finding jobs and accessing healthcare to participating in education and civic discourse. Many people, particularly in underserved areas, lack the fundamental skills needed to fully engage in our digital society, creating an "information gap" that can widen economic and social inequalities.

If this bill becomes law, it could lead to a better understanding of where these gaps exist and what strategies effectively close them. The commission's report would provide a roadmap for future government action, potentially resulting in more effective programs that equip more Americans with crucial digital skills. If the bill does not pass, efforts to address digital literacy might remain fragmented and lack a comprehensive, data-driven strategy to ensure equitable access to these vital skills.
