Requires cable television, direct broadcast satellite, and television streaming service companies to include certain fees and charges for service in advertised price to consumers.
S 1225 requires cable, satellite, and streaming television companies in New Jersey to advertise the complete price consumers will pay for service, including all fees like programming, equipment rentals, and administrative charges. It applies directly to companies advertising TV service prices to New Jersey residents, mandating that the displayed price reflects the total billable amount (excluding federal/state taxes that may be itemized separately). Companies must disclose that additional taxes or fees may apply but are not required to include those in the advertised price. Violations could result in fines up to $20,000 per offense or legal action under New Jersey's consumer fraud law.
