Bill > S02322

This bill amends the New York Public Service Law to prohibit cable television companies from charging different rates for the same service to different subscribers. Currently, cable companies can establish different service classifications and charge varying rates based on subscriber categories, but this proposed legislation would eliminate that practice. The bill essentially aims to create more pricing transparency and fairness by requiring cable companies to maintain uniform pricing for identical services across all subscribers, regardless of individual customer characteristics. By mandating that a specific service must cost the same for every customer, the bill seeks to prevent potential discriminatory pricing practices and ensure that all customers are treated equally in terms of service costs. The amendment would take effect immediately upon becoming law, meaning cable companies would need to quickly adjust their pricing structures to comply with the new requirement.
