IL State Law Protecting Public Access

On Saturday, June 30, 2007, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich approved SB 678, signing the telecommunications bill into law as Public Act 95-0009, The Cable and Video Competition Law of 2007.

The original telecommunications bill (formerly HB 1500 and SB 678) threatened public, educational and government (PEG) access TV centers like CAN TV. The revised bill (PA 95-0009) does no harm to PEG access TV centers.
