Markup of H.R. 1644, the Save the Internet Act of 2019

The Subcommittee will markup legislation to restore  net neutrality protections that were repealed by the Trump Federal Communications Commission.

The Subcommittee will consider the following bill:

H.R. 1644, the “Save the Internet Act of 2019,” introduced by Rep. Mike Doyle, would enact the three legacy net neutrality principles – no blocking, no throttling and no paid prioritization – and empower the FCC to prohibit unjust, unreasonable and discriminatory practices.  The legislation would also ensure consumers can make informed decisions when shopping for internet plans and restore the FCC’s authority to fund broadband access and deployment, particularly for rural communities and struggling Americans.  The Save the Internet Act would codify the FCC’s 2015 Open Internet Order in a similar manner to last year’s Congressional Review Act that passed the Senate and had bipartisan support in the House.
