Democrats to force net neutrality vote in the Senate

Senate Democrats will move Wednesday to force a Senate floor vote to restore “net neutrality” rules imposed during the Obama administration.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., plan to file a discharge petition signed by 30 senators that would allow them to bring up a Congressional Review Act resolution. The resolution, if passed, would reverse a Federal Communications Commission decision that gave them the power to regulate the Internet like a telecommunications company.
