WASHINGTON, July 29, 2024 – A Senate Republican last week took a step to nullify federal internet competition regulations, but the effort is unlikely to advance because of stiff Democratic opposition.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., last Tuesday introduced a joint resolution under the Congressional Review Act to nullify the Federal Communications Commission's Net Neutrality rules adopted in April and scheduled to take effect next Monday. Blackburn has been a longtime opponent of FCC-imposed Net Neutrality rules.
