New Jersey Net Neutrality Bill
Assemblywoman Annette Quijano (D., District 20), re-introduced a bill that would ensure all New Jersey customers an “open, neutral, and non-prioritized Internet.” Assembly Bill 5411 was introduced last session after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) repealed net neutrality regulations under the Trump Administration.
