SB 825: Local government: public broadband services.

Existing law prohibits a local agency that is engaged in the provision of broadband internet access service in the state from taking certain actions regarding the accessing of content on the internet by an end user. Existing law defines various terms for these purposes, including defining local agency to mean any agency of local government authorized by any other law to provide broadband internet access service, and lists specified categories of local government agencies included in that definition of local agency.

This bill would add metropolitan planning organizations and regional transportation planning authorities to that list of local government agencies included in the definition of local agency.
