AI Summary

This bill enacts the California Internet Consumer Protection and Net Neutrality Act of 2018. It prohibits fixed and mobile Internet service providers (ISPs) from engaging in certain practices, such as blocking or impairing lawful content, applications, or devices, and requiring payment from edge providers (content/service providers) to avoid having their content blocked or impaired. The bill also prohibits ISPs from offering or providing services other than broadband Internet access that could evade these prohibitions or negatively affect broadband performance. The bill provides some exceptions, such as for reasonable network management and addressing emergency or law enforcement needs.
