Bill > H2910

This bill aims to further regulate cable television systems in Massachusetts. It prohibits cable providers from requiring advance payment from subscribers, but allows subscribers to voluntarily offer and providers to accept such payments. It also requires cable providers to itemize all rates and charges, set a 15-day due date for bills, and define delinquency as non-payment 30 days after the due date. Additionally, the bill restricts late fees, requiring written notice and an 8-business day grace period before late fees can be assessed, and prohibits late fees on disputed amounts. Finally, the bill mandates that cable providers provide subscribers with a written statement of account for each billing period and a final bill at the time of disconnection.
