Bill > S200

This bill aims to protect consumers in cable contracts by regulating the use of "teaser rates" - promotional rates offered by cable television providers that subsequently increase after a certain period of time. The key provisions of the bill are: (1) cable providers must offer teaser rates for at least 12 consecutive months before increasing the rate; (2) providers must give customers written and electronic notice 60 and 30 days before the teaser rate increase; and (3) providers cannot impose any penalties on customers who cancel their subscription before the teaser rate increase. This legislation seeks to provide greater transparency and consumer protections in the cable television industry.
