AI Summary

This bill aims to amend the existing law to provide unlimited free directory assistance calls for customers who are certified as handicapped or elderly, as determined by regulations from the state Department. The bill also specifies that no directory assistance charges can be applied to users of public pay phones. The term "directory assistance service" is defined as the provision of telephone numbers for other customers within the state, and the state's utility regulator is prohibited from reviewing or approving any directory assistance services that provide out-of-state telephone numbers.
