Overview
This bill requires cable television, direct broadcast satellite, and television streaming companies operating in New Jersey to clearly display all fees and charges associated with their services in their advertised prices to consumers. Currently, companies may only advertise the base price, leaving consumers unaware of additional costs like equipment fees or programming charges. The bill aims to increase transparency and allow consumers to make informed decisions about their television service subscriptions. It also requires companies to disclose potential federal or state taxes and fees that may apply.
