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

This bill aims to protect New Jersey consumers by preventing telecommunications, utility, and cable companies from charging customers for services before their regular billing due date. It requires these companies to only charge customers for service on the actual due date unless the customer specifically agrees to an earlier charge or the company approves a different method. The bill was amended to remove a previous requirement that any agreement to be charged early be in writing. This legislation ensures consistent billing practices and reduces potential confusion for customers.
