Business Regulation - Cellular Phone Carriers - Authorized Users

SB 846 requires cellular phone carriers in Maryland to include a specific option in service contracts. This option allows multiple account holders (customers of record) to alter, modify, or cancel the service contract without needing others' approval, but only if all account holders agreed in writing when the contract was first signed. The bill directly affects customers sharing a phone plan, such as families or roommates, by giving them more flexibility to manage their account terms. It becomes effective October 1, 2025, and amends existing law to mandate this provision.
