A joint resolution 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
S.J.Res. 103 is a joint resolution that would overturn a 2024 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rule commonly known as "net neutrality." If passed, this resolution would remove the FCC’s authority to regulate broadband internet as a public utility and would eliminate federal requirements that prohibit internet service providers from blocking, slowing down, or charging extra for faster delivery of specific online content. For everyday citizens, this would mean the legal framework governing how internet providers manage web traffic would revert to previous standards, potentially changing how service providers prioritize different types of data and applications on their networks.
