AI Summary
This bill requires broadband internet access service providers in Washington state to offer virtual private network (VPN) service to end users at no extra cost. The bill also amends existing law to define key terms related to broadband internet access service, such as "broadband internet access service," "end user," "paid prioritization," and "reasonable network management." The bill aims to ensure that end users have access to VPN service and can choose to use a third-party VPN service if they prefer, without the broadband provider prohibiting or restricting that choice.
