Relates to information cable television companies must provide to subscribers

This bill requires cable television companies to provide new written information to subscribers at the time of signing up. Specifically, companies must describe the required equipment, explain how and where subscribers can buy that equipment at retail, and list compatible retail options. The law defines "equipment" broadly to include modems and devices for data transmission. It directly affects cable subscribers and retail equipment sellers by increasing transparency about equipment costs and options. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
