The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 91, seeks to amend title 16 of the general statutes to extend the provisions of public act 20-5 to telecommunications and Internet service providers. The bill mandates that these companies must offer residential customers a credit of one hundred dollars for each full day that their service is disrupted due to an outage. This change aims to enhance accountability among service providers and ensure consumer protection in the event of service interruptions.

The bill introduces new legal language that requires the specified credit for service outages, while it does not appear to delete any existing legal language from current law. The overall intent of the legislation is to safeguard consumers by holding telecommunications companies responsible for the reliability of their services.
