Bill > AR52

This resolution respectfully urges the President and Congress of the United States to restore "net neutrality" in federal law, which is a principle ensuring the internet remains free and open by preventing Internet Service Providers (ISPs) from unfairly slowing down, blocking, or prioritizing certain online content, applications, or websites. The resolution explains that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) previously classified ISP services under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934, allowing them to enforce net neutrality rules, but this classification was rescinded in 2017, removing the FCC's authority to prevent practices like paid "fast lanes." The resolution argues that this change is detrimental because most consumers lack real choices in ISPs, and small businesses may be disadvantaged if they cannot afford faster internet access, hindering fair competition and the free flow of information. It suggests that Congress can either use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify the 2017 FCC order or pass new legislation to codify net neutrality principles into law, thereby requiring the FCC to enforce them.
