Senate amendments concurred in. To Engrossing and Enrolling. (Ayes 67. Noes 8.).
Summary
The bill adds a new California Affordable Home Internet Act that obligates internet service providers to offer a low‑cost broadband plan to households with a member receiving public assistance. Eligible families must receive at least 50 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up for $15 a month, and providers must advertise the option and file annual reports with the Department of Technology. The measure removes oversight from the Public Utilities Commission and would stop if a federal or state subsidy program covering low‑income broadband is created.
