HB3808 Summary

• Amends the Public Utilities Act to clarify the definition of "video service" by excluding video programming accessed via internet services, including internet streaming content, from state regulation.

• Modifies the definition to specify that video service does not include programming from commercial mobile service providers, direct-to-home satellite services, or content accessed through general internet services.

• Excludes revenues from internet streaming content from the calculation of "gross revenues" for determining service provider fees that video service providers must pay to local governments.

• Maintains existing fee requirements of 5% of gross revenues or the equivalent of incumbent cable operator fees, with these exclusions applying only to internet-based video delivery.

• Section is scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2026, making this a temporary regulatory adjustment.
