AI Summary
This bill, the Save the Internet Act of 2019, seeks to restore the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) 2015 Open Internet Order and its net neutrality protections. The key provisions of the bill are: 1) It repeals the FCC's 2017 Declaratory Ruling, Report and Order that eliminated net neutrality rules; 2) It prohibits the FCC from reissuing a substantially similar rule without specific congressional authorization; and 3) It restores the 2015 Open Internet Order and related FCC regulations that were in effect prior to the 2017 ruling. The bill aims to reinstate the FCC's net neutrality rules, which prohibited internet service providers from blocking, throttling, or prioritizing certain internet traffic.
