HI HR53

Urges Congress to oppose the Federal Communications Commission's decision to overturn the 2015 net neutrality rules that required equal internet access regardless of payment by commercial websites.

Calls on Congress to pass legislation retaining net neutrality nationwide to prevent internet service providers from blocking, throttling, or prioritizing content based on fees.

Identifies harms from removing net neutrality protections, including forced fees for faster content delivery and creation of incentives for internet service providers to restrict access to disfavored websites.

Designates internet as a public utility similar to power and water, arguing users have a right to access online content without interference or manipulation by internet service providers.

Directs transmission of certified copies to the President, Vice President, Congressional leadership, and Hawaii's Congressional delegation.
