Cable TV Regulation Bill Clears Arizona Committee
The Arizona Senate committee for State County and Municipal affairs approved a bill bringing cable television under state regulation by an 8 to 1 vote. Former Senator James McNulty urged passage, saying the state would decide on public interest while preserving local control. Don Corbet of a cable company supported regulation as needed though the industry prefers local oversight. The bill would let cities issue permits and the state Corporation Commission hear appeals and regulate the industry as it expands from rural to urban areas.
