Legal updates

ONA and its media partners saw two strong legal and policy victories this past week:

The media associations in the Sunshine in Government Initiative applaud Monday’s House vote to approve the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016 (S. 337). After years of work on this set of reforms to the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), ONA is proud to see strengthened disclosure under FOIA. The reforms will go to President Obama’s desk for his signature just days before transparency advocates celebrate the 50th anniversary of President Lyndon Johnson’s signing of the original FOIA into law on July 4, 1966.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday fully upheld the Open Internet rules, regulations backing the principle of net neutrality: phone and cable companies should treat all of the traffic on their networks equally — no blocking or slowing their competitors, and no fast lanes for companies that can pay more. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit delivered a slam-dunk victory to the Federal Communications Commission as it rejected the petition filed by telecom, cable and wireless industry associations. See ONA’s original letter to the FCC. (From NPR’s the two-way)
