Short description: 
INTERNET ACCESS ENHANCEMENT                                                

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates  the  Internet  Access  Enhancement   Act.   Requires   a      
   high-speed  broadband Internet access transport provider who is also a      
   cable operator or affiliate of a high-speed broadband Internet  access      
   transport  provider  who  is  also  a cable operator to provide to any      
   requesting  Internet  service  provider  access  to   its   high-speed      
   broadband  Internet  access  transport  services  on rates, terms, and      
   conditions that are at  least  as  favorable  as  those  on  which  it      
   provides  access  to  itself,  its  affiliate,  or  any  other person.      
   Provides that the Attorney General may bring an action to enforce  the      
   Act.  Allows  a private right of action to aggrieved parties. Preempts      
   home rule.  Effective January 1, 2002.                                      
          FISCAL NOTE (Illinois Commerce Commission)                           
          The Illinois Commerce Commission estimates no fiscal impact          
          on State revenues from HB138.                                        
          HOME RULE NOTE (Department of Commerce and Community Affairs)        
          HB 138 contains language which is a denial and limitation of         
          home rule powers and functions. Therefore, in the opinion of         
          DCCA, HB 138 preempts home rule authority.                           
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Central Management Services)              
          There is no fiscal impact on this Department.
