Bill overview
The Cable Transparency Act aims to increase transparency and stability in cable franchise agreements. It prevents cable companies from automatically renewing franchises and allows franchisees to request modifications or elimination of franchise requirements without renewal. The bill also establishes a process for franchising authorities to revoke franchises if a cable operator fails to meet key requirements, but only after providing a reasonable opportunity to cure the issue. Furthermore, it streamlines the process for cable operators to request changes to franchise terms.
