Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), the bill author, <a href=\"http:\/\/sd11.senate.ca.gov\/news\/20180620-senator-wiener%E2%80%99s-statement-gutting-net-neutrality-bill-assembly-committee\">said<\/a>. &#8220;These hostile amendments eviscerate the bill and leave us with a net neutrality bill in name only.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Our <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NetNeutrality?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NetNeutrality<\/a> bill, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SB822?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SB822<\/a>, was gutted today by the Assembly Communications Committee, b\/f I was allowed to present the bill &amp; b\/f public comment. The eviscerated bill was passed over my objection. CA should lead on net neutrality, not pass a toothless bill.

The USTelecom lobby group has <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2018\/03\/attverizon-lobbyists-to-aggressively-sue-states-that-enact-net-neutrality\/\">said<\/a> it will &#8220;aggressively\u201d sue states that enact net neutrality rules.<\/p>\n<p>The California bill is seen as having national implications, as numerous states are considering net neutrality legislation.\u00a0House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/business\/article\/Nancy-Pelosi-intervenes-in-California-net-13008641.php\">urged<\/a> the state legislature to pass the strong version of the bill.<\/p>\n<h2>Several rules eliminated<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/201720180SB822_Assembly-Communications-And-Conveyance_.pdf\">bill as amended<\/a>\u00a0still has bans on blocking or throttling lawful Internet traffic and a ban on paid prioritization. Those rules are similar to the nationwide ones recently repealed by the Federal Communications Commission.<\/p>\n<p>But one amendment eliminated a ban on ISPs demanding payments from websites or online services &#8220;in exchange for access to the Internet service provider&#8217;s end users.&#8221; The ban on blocking or throttling would seem to prevent an ISP from demanding payments for mere access to its network. But eliminating the ban on access payments could make it easier for ISPs to find a way around the anti-blocking and anti-throttling rules.<\/p>\n<p>Another amendment approved yesterday removed a provision that would prevent ISPs from charging online services for zero-rating, which exempts Internet content from data caps. Many net neutrality supporters say that ISPs impose data caps in order to create an artificial scarcity that is then &#8220;solved&#8221; by websites or online services paying the ISP to circumvent the caps.<\/p>\n<p>Yet another amendment passed yesterday removed a requirement that ISPs maintain enough bandwidth at network interconnection points\u2014that proposed rule was supposed to prevent re-occurrences of the <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2014\/07\/how-comcast-became-a-powerful-and-controversial-part-of-the-internet-backbone\/\">Netflix problems<\/a> of 2013 and 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The amendments were passed by the Assembly Communications and Conveyance Committee, which is chaired by Miguel Santiago (D-Los Angeles). The committee approved the amended bill and <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billVotesClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB822\">referred<\/a> it to the Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection, which could reinstate the original provisions or make other changes.<\/p>\n<p>The committee approved the amendments shortly before taking comment from bill supporters and opponents at a public hearing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[T]he Assembly committee forced hostile amendments into the bill before even holding a hearing, before taking any public comment, and only 12 hours after making those amendments public,&#8221; Wiener said.<\/p>\n<p>After the hearing, the committee approved the amended bill by a vote of 8-2. The <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billVotesClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB822\">aye votes<\/a> were cast by <a href=\"http:\/\/acom.assembly.ca.gov\/membersstaff\">seven Democrats<\/a> (including Santiago) and one Republican, while the noes came from two Republicans. A no vote in this instance signifies opposition to passing even the weakened form of the bill.<\/p>\n<p>Net neutrality advocacy group Fight for the Future <a href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.fightforthefuture.org\/post\/175080347948\/breaking-led-by-corrupt-chairman-miguel-santiago\">accused<\/a> Santiago of corruption and said that &#8220;California Democrats work[ed] with Republicans to gut [the] net neutrality bill.&#8221; AT&amp;T is one of Santiago&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/votesmart.org\/candidate\/campaign-finance\/151853\/miguel-santiago#.WyvD6IRKhyo\">top donors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Santiago&#8217;s statement on the bill said he intended to reinstate the Obama-era net neutrality rules but didn&#8217;t address the major changes passed by the committee, <a href=\"http:\/\/fortune.com\/2018\/06\/20\/california-net-neutrality-exceptions\/\">according to
