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 an early termination fee if the service recipient receives a physician's order or develops a plan of care to relocate to a long-term care facility, such as a nursing home, assisted living facility, or dementia care home, for at least 90 days. The service provider must waive the 45-day notice requirement if the physician's order requires immediate relocation, and the service provider may require written proof of the relocation.
