Summary
The Outage Refund Protection Act would force telephone, cable, satellite TV and broadband internet providers with more than 5,000 customers to give automatic billing credits when service is down for four hours or more. Credits equal one‑thirtieth of the monthly fee for each day of outage, and if a customer cancels service the excess credit must be refunded within 30 days. The bill aims to compensate consumers for lost service without requiring them to file disputes.
