AI Summary
This bill prohibits the state of Kansas from entering into contracts with internet service providers (ISPs) that do not adhere to net neutrality principles. The bill defines net neutrality as ISPs not blocking, throttling, or engaging in paid prioritization of lawful internet content, applications, services, or devices, and requires ISPs to publicly disclose their network management practices and service performance. The bill aims to ensure the state can efficiently procure stable and high-quality internet services and that all Kansas citizens have equal access to state services, which are increasingly online-only, to help address the digital divide.
