The bill amends Chapter 39-3 of the General Laws, adding a new section titled "39-3-11.4. Internet access rates for seniors." This section defines "Internet" and establishes that, effective January 1, 2026, providers of Internet access will be prohibited from increasing rates for individuals aged sixty-two (62) years or older for connection services.

The intent of this legislation is to protect senior citizens from rising costs associated with Internet access, ensuring that they can maintain connectivity without financial burden. The act will take effect immediately upon passage, reinforcing the commitment to support the needs of the senior population in accessing essential online services.
