Summary

The bill would mandate that every California internet service provider sell an affordable home internet plan—capped at $15 per month and providing at least 100 Mbps downstream and 20 Mbps upstream—to households with a resident enrolled in a qualifying public assistance program. Providers must prominently advertise the plan and submit an annual report to the Department of Technology, while the Public Utilities Commission would have no regulatory authority over the program. The requirements would cease if a federal or state subsidy meeting the same price and speed standards is implemented.
