Requires certain telecommunications, cable television, and public utility service providers to notify BPU of service discontinuance to public entities 14 business days prior to shutoff.

This bill requires telecommunications companies, cable TV providers, and public utilities (like electric, gas, or water companies) to notify the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) in writing 14 business days before disconnecting service to public entities. It directly affects school districts, local governments, and state agencies that receive these services. The notice must include the customer's name, location, amount owed, payment history, resolution attempts, and the disconnection date. The goal is to give public entities advance notice of potential service cuts due to unpaid bills, allowing time to address payment issues.
