As the fight to preserve net neutrality gears up in California, two state senators are melding their efforts to establish rules that would prevent internet service providers from manipulating or slowing access to online content.  

Under new amendments unveiled Monday, Sens. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) have rewritten their dueling net neutrality bills to complement each other — and added conditions so that both must be signed by the governor for the other to take effect.

The move comes a week after net neutrality was officially repealed at the federal level, following a vote by the Federal Communications Commission in December to roll back the rules.  

Weiner’s Senate Bill 822 will now be solely responsible for setting California’s net neutrality standards: It would bar broadband companies that do business in the state from blocking, throttling or interfering with a customer’s internet access based on the nature of the content or type of service.  

It would also prevent providers from varying speeds between websites or charging customers additional fees for their services to reach more people. It would task the state attorney general's office with enforcing the rules.
