 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Net Neutrality and Broadband Justice Act of 2022

This bill expressly classifies broadband internet as a telecommunications service rather than an information service for purposes of regulation by the Federal Communications Commission. (Current law treats providers of telecommunications services as common carriers and subjects them to more stringent requirements.)
