TELEVISION/CABLE: Prohibits discontinuation of cable service without prior notice
HB 308 requires cable service providers to give customers at least thirty days' notice before stopping their service, provided the provider can control when the service ends. The law mandates that this warning be sent both in writing and through announcements made directly on the cable system. This rule applies specifically to situations where a provider chooses to terminate a service certificate, ensuring customers are informed well in advance of any disruption.
