AN ACT CONCERNING CABLE TELEVISION SERVICE.
HB 5949 allows cable television subscribers to choose which programming packages they want, rather than receiving bundled channels. It requires cable companies to clearly break down all costs on consumer bills, showing each component separately. The bill directly affects all Connecticut cable subscribers and the cable companies providing service in the state. This law aims to increase consumer choice and billing clarity without changing service fees or channel availability.
