Prohibits telecommunications, utility or cable television companies from charging certain customers prior to actual billing due date.

This bill prohibits telecommunications, utility, and cable companies from charging customers early (before their regular billing due date) for services paid via credit card or automatic bank payments. Companies may only charge early if customers provide written consent or request it by phone or other approved method. It directly affects customers using automatic payment methods for electricity, gas, cable, or telecom services. The law requires companies to adjust billing practices to prevent pre-billing charges without explicit customer permission.
