Congress.gov says H.R.6929 would extend and provide FY2024 funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program, but the bill was introduced on 2024-01-10 and its latest action was referral to the House Committee on Appropriations; its status remained Introduced.

The clearest formal restart effort stalled at introduction and did not become law.

Assessments

never unknown

There is no evidence that the Affordable Connectivity Program was restarted, which is the promised outcome. The strongest cited restart vehicle, H.R. 6929, remained only introduced and was referred to committee without becoming law. The provided official House and Congress.gov records also do not show clear ACP-related activity by Debbie Wasserman Schultz sufficient to credit her with materially advancing a successful restart or even a serious candidate-led near-miss effort. On this record, the promise was not delivered.
