It also affects broadband service providers and telecommunications companies that offer internet services to consumers. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate.
