Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Communications Commission relating to "Safeguarding and Securing the Open Internet; Restoring Internet Freedom".
Summary
House Joint Resolution 153 is a proposal to overturn a 2024 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rule that reestablished "net neutrality" regulations. If passed, this resolution would eliminate federal rules that currently prevent internet service providers from blocking, slowing down, or charging extra fees to prioritize specific websites and online services. Additionally, the resolution would strip the FCC of its authority to regulate broadband internet as a common carrier telecommunications service, returning it to a more lightly regulated information service.
