This bill, S 4783, aims to expand the information that cable television companies must provide to their subscribers. The primary goal is to increase transparency and ensure customers have access to more comprehensive details about their cable service plans, pricing, and related policies.
The key provisions of S 4783 include:
Detailed Billing Information: Cable companies would be required to provide subscribers with a detailed monthly billing statement, including a breakdown of all charges, fees, and taxes.
Plan and Service Details: Customers must be given clear, easy-to-understand information about the channel lineups, internet speeds, and other service details included in their cable/internet subscription plan.
Explanation of Changes: Cable providers would have to notify subscribers in advance of any changes to their plan or service, along with a clear explanation of how those changes will impact the customer's monthly bill.
Termination Policies: The bill mandates that cable companies disclose all policies related to service termination, including any fees or penalties associated with early cancellation.
Comparison Tools: Subscribers must be provided with online tools to easily compare their current plan and pricing to other available options from the same provider.
The primary groups impacted by this legislation would be:
Cable/satellite television subscribers: They would benefit from increased transparency and access to more detailed information about their service.
Cable television companies: These providers would be required to collect, organize, and disclose more comprehensive data to their customers.
State regulatory agencies: They may be tasked with overseeing compliance with the new disclosure requirements.
S 4783 was introduced in the state legislature on October 27, 2025 and has been referred to the Energy and Telecommunications committee for initial consideration. If passed, the bill would take effect 6 months after being signed into law, giving cable companies time to update their billing and customer communication processes.
