Bill > A05065

This bill directs the New York Public Service Commission (PSC) to develop a regulatory process for overseeing internet and cable provider charges and fees, within the boundaries of federal law. Specifically, the bill amends the public service law by adding a new subdivision that empowers the PSC to create rules and regulations governing various aspects of internet and cable services, including television rates and other services. The new regulations would cover not only existing fees but also future requests for fee increases or changes. The bill will take effect 120 days after becoming law, and during this period, the PSC is authorized to prepare and finalize the necessary rules and regulations to implement the new oversight process. By adding this provision, the bill aims to provide greater consumer protection and regulatory oversight of internet and cable service pricing in New York State.
