Congressional Democrats have introduced legislation in both the Senate and House of Representatives to ensure net neutrality to keep the Federal Communication Commission ruling in operation.
The Open Internet Preservation Act (H.R. 3982), is a short two-page bill that keeps the FCC's previous ruling on net neutrality in operation, without dictating exactly what net neutrality rules should be enforced. The bill will only remain in force until the FCC has set out new neutrality standards. The bill follows the recent court ruling that the FCC wasn't entitled to block telecommunications companies from giving differing priorities to internet traffic.
The H.R. 3982 bill is supported by president Obama, and likely to pass in the Democrate-controlled Senate, however, unlikely to pass the Republican House of Representatives.
