Net Neutrality CRA Teed up in House

Rep. Mike Doyle (D-PA) has filed a discharge petition, which would force a vote on the House resolution to restore net neutrality rules. The petition needs 218 votes -- which means a couple dozen Republican will need to support it. There are currently  235 Republicans and 193 Democrats in the House, with seven vacancies. Republicans say that they support net neutrality, but not under the Title II regime used for the Federal Communications Commission's 2015 rules. Republicans continue to try to get Democrats to drop the resolution and work on bipartisan net neutrality legislation. But Democrats counter that is a stall tactic and the bills they have offered up would impermissibly narrow the FCC's broadband regulatory authority, a price they are not willing to pay to restore bright-line rules against blocking, throttling and paid prioritization
