House and Senate Democratic leaders unveiled new legislation Wednesday proposing to restore federal net neutrality rules on internet service providers such as AT&T and Verizon.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, alongside Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer , announces net neutrality legislation at the Capitol on March 6.
“Republicans will have a second chance — there are second chances! — to right the Trump administration’s wrong,” said Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer . Lawmakers seeking a net neutrality bill this time around have to do so within the conventional legislative process.Democrats control the House. But with Republicans in control of the Senate, the legislation could be dead on arrival there unless the two parties agree to negotiate a compromise. Even then, it’s unclear whether the resulting bill could pass both chambers — and, if it did, whether President Trump would sign it.
The Democrats’ move on Wednesday shows there is bipartisan appetite for a legislative solution, rather than a desire to keep letting the FCC flip back and forth between policies with every change in administration.
