AI Summary
This bill aims to provide greater oversight and control over cable contracts by amending Chapter 166A of the General Laws. The key provisions are: 1) If an issuing authority (e.g., a local government) determines that a cable provider (licensee) has violated the conditions of their license, the matter will be referred to the Department of Telecommunications and Cable for further review and action. 2) Any settlement agreement reached between the issuing authority and the cable provider must be reviewed and approved by the Department, which can reject the agreement if it is not in the best interest of impacted subscribers.
