LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1669, as introduced, Cunningham. California Internet Consumer Protection and Net Neutrality Act of 2018: United States Department of Veterans Affairs: telehealth applications.
Existing law, the California Internet Consumer Protection and Net Neutrality Act of 2018, prohibits internet service providers from taking certain actions that interfere with lawful internet traffic, including exempting some, but not the entire category of, internet content, applications, services, or devices from a customer’s data usage allowance.
This bill would specify that the act does not prohibit an internet service provider from exempting from a customer’s data usage allowance the use of telehealth applications administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
