Bill > HR2699

This bill would require cable and telephone service providers to charge veterans' organizations the same residential rates they would charge an individual living at the same property, but only if those residential rates are lower than the rates the provider would normally charge the organization. Specifically, the bill applies to cable services and voice services (but not commercial mobile services), and covers organizations formally recognized by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The term "covered service" is defined to include cable services and voice services, excluding mobile phone services. The new requirement would apply to services provided on or after the date the bill is enacted. By mandating these residential rates, the bill aims to reduce telecommunications costs for veterans' organizations, potentially making it more affordable for these groups to maintain communication services at their primary operating locations.
