Pennsylvania Net Neutrality bill PA HB2062-"As Net Neutrality Officially Ends, States Rush to Pass Workarounds"

With portions of the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) net neutrality repeal order officially taking effect earlier this week, some states are facing pressure to get workarounds up and running. 

Nearly two dozen states are not wasting time. Since the FCC voted in December to repeal the 2015 Open Internet Order, 28 states have introduced bills that require Internet service providers to adhere to some of the net neutrality provisions that were previously enforced by the FCC, reports the National Conference of State Legislatures. 

Of this group, only Oregon and Washington state have had success in passing net neutrality laws.
