AK SJR12

Urges United States Congress to use the Congressional Review Act to overturn the FCC's December 14, 2017 order ending net neutrality regulations by a simple majority vote in each house.

States that net neutrality requires Internet service providers to treat all websites equally regardless of content, source, or business relationship, and without it providers can charge higher rates, slow down, or block access to websites.

Cites concerns that ending net neutrality harms small businesses and entrepreneurs, invites anti-consumer practices, threatens First Amendment rights, and particularly impacts Alaska's isolated communities that rely heavily on stable, affordable Internet access.

Notes that a University of Maryland poll found 83 percent of Americans oppose the FCC's reversal of net neutrality, and the public process was flawed with over 21 million comments including stolen identities, Russian email addresses, and duplicates.

Directs copies of the resolution to be sent to President Trump, Alaska's congressional delegation, all members of the 115th Congress, and presiding officers of the other 49 state legislatures.
