Provides consumer protections under certain telecommunications service provider contracts.
This New Jersey bill establishes consumer protections for subscribers of cable television, landline telephone, and Internet access services. It requires telecommunications providers to waive early termination fees, refund activation charges, and reimburse previous termination fees if a subscriber experiences more than three service outages within a 30-day period. The legislation also mandates that providers track outage reports and notify affected customers of their eligibility for these protections. Violations of these requirements would be treated as unlawful practices subject to existing state penalties.
