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".
This joint resolution (SJRES 103) seeks to block a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rule titled "Safeguarding and Securing the Open Internet; Restoring Internet Freedom" that was published in May 2024. It uses a specific congressional process under Title 5, U.S. Code, to formally disapprove the FCC rule, which would make the rule legally ineffective. The resolution directly affects the FCC’s regulatory authority over internet service providers and the implementation of net neutrality standards. If passed, it would prevent the FCC’s rule from taking effect, reverting to prior regulatory approaches for internet service. This is a procedural disapproval measure, not a new law.
