Repeal Local Government Internet Service Voter Approval

Abstract

Cities, counties, special districts, and other local governments (local government) are currently prohibited, with certain limited exceptions, from providing cable television, telecommunications service, or high-speed internet access without first seeking voter approval. A local government that does provide any of these services is further required to comply with all state and federal laws and regulations governing the service and prohibited from granting certain preferences or discriminating in connection with providing the service. The bill repeals these restrictions on the provision of cable television, telecommunications service, or high-speed internet access by a local government. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
