AN ACT PROHIBITING INTERNET AND CABLE FEE INCREASES FOR SENIOR CITIZENS LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME.
HB 5796 prohibits internet and cable companies from raising service fees for seniors aged 65 or older who live on a fixed income. The bill directly affects eligible senior households by preventing companies from increasing their monthly charges. Key provisions require service providers to maintain existing rates for qualifying seniors, with no new fees allowed. This policy change aims to provide cost stability for a specific vulnerable group without altering broader service terms.
