ACTION TIMELINE

Page history last edited by Joe Van Eaton 3 yrs ago

IN THE HOUSE:

 

The COPE bill sponsored by Rep. Joe Barton, just passed the House subcommittee.

 

The next steps with respect to that bill:

 

IT IS LIKELY THAT THE FULL COMMITTEE WOULD MARK-UP THE BILL ON THE WEEK OF APRIL 26, AND THE HOUSE WOULD VOTE IN MAY OR JUNE ON THE BILL

 

IT IS IMPORTANT TO TRY TO SEEK ANY AMENDMENTS IN THE HOUSE AT THE COMMITTEE LEVEL, AND NOT TO ASSUME THAT THERE WILL BE OPPORTUNITIES TO OBTAIN AMENDMENTS WHEN AND IF THE BILL GOES BEFORE THE FULL HOUSE.

However the COPE bill is not the only possible vehicle for action on Net Neutrality; there are reports that the Judiciary Cmte may also get involved:

But the House could move quickly on this legislation.
