Two California Democratic state senators have linked their net neutrality bills in advance of a hearing on the bills this week in the Assembly's Communications & Conveyance Committee. Senators Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Kevin de Leon (D-Los Angeles), said they had been in discussions about joining forces, including announced that they will become co-sponsors of each other's bills, SB 822 (Wiener) and SB 460 (de Leon). The link is something called "contingent enactment," which means for either to become law, both must become law.
