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 providers, and utility companies (like electric or water services) to notify New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) in writing at least 14 business days before cutting off service to public entities - such as public schools, government buildings, or state agencies - due to unpaid bills. The notice must include specific details like the amount owed, payment history, attempts to resolve the issue, and the planned shutdown date. This gives the BPU’s Customer Assistance Division time to help resolve payment disputes before service is interrupted. The bill directly affects public institutions that rely on these services and aims to prevent sudden disruptions to essential operations.
