FCC Must Now Vote On Settlements
- Consumerist, Wednesday, February 8, 2017 5:21 PM
FCC Chair Ajit Pai today announced a procedural change that could made it harder for the Commission’s Enforcement Bureau to issue fines or enter into settlements with companies that have violated the agency's rules. Under the new rules, the Enforcement Bureau won't be able to settle matters until the Commission has approved the settlement. "This will help promote Commissioners’ involvement in and accountability for important enforcement decisions,” Pai stated.
