AI Summary

This bill requires telecommunications, cable television, and internet service providers in New Jersey to allow service recipients to terminate their service contracts without incurring early termination fees if the service recipient receives a physician's order or develops a plan of care with a physician to relocate to a long-term care facility for at least 90 days. The bill also allows the service provider to require written proof of the relocation, and it does not relieve the service recipient of the obligation to return any equipment or pay for any equipment purchased.
