This is the best summary I could come up with:
The FCC scheduled an April 25 vote on Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel's proposal to restore net neutrality rules similar to the ones introduced during the Obama era and repealed under former President Trump.
California stepped in to regulate broadband providers after then-FCC Chairman Ajit Pai led a vote to repeal the federal rules.
That means ISPs operating in California can't exempt Internet traffic from customers' data usage allowances in exchange for payment from a third party.
In the order scheduled for an April 25 vote, the FCC said the California law "appears largely to mirror or parallel our federal rules.
We have likewise stated in this Order that BIAS providers may not engage in interconnection practices that circumvent the prohibitions contained in the open Internet rules.
As to the latter, California restricts zero-rating when applied discriminatorily to only a subset of "Internet content, applications, services, or devices in a category" or when performed "in exchange for consideration, monetary or otherwise, from a third party."
