SB 924 - Blocks franchise fee expansion

SB 924 ensures that municipalities cannot unjustly levy franchise fees on video streaming platforms and satellite TV services that do not use public infrastructure. This protects consumers from unnecessary cost increases and guards against government overreach into the digital marketplace. By limiting local taxing authority to services that physically use public rights-of-way, the bill preserves a fair regulatory environment. The bill promotes limited government, prevents backdoor tax hikes, and defends free-market principles.
