Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Broadband Adoption Fund Act. Changes the definition of "provider" to include a provider of communication services. Provides that each telecommunications carrier, wireless carrier, cable and video service provider, and Interconnected VoIP service provider shall notify its customers that if the customer wishes to participate in the funding of the Illinois Broadband Adoption Fund, the customer may do so by electing to contribute on a monthly basis a fixed amount that will be included in the customer's monthly bill. Provides that the fixed amount choices shall include, but not be limited to, $1, $2, or $5 per month. Provides that if the customer has elected electronic billing, the customer shall also be notified monthly of the opportunity to contribute to the fund. Provides that the customer may cease contributing at any time upon providing notice to the carrier. Provides that the notice shall state that any contribution made will not reduce the customer's bill for communications or broadband services. Provides that the customer's failure to remit the amount of increased payment will reduce the contribution accordingly. Provides that every telecommunications carrier, wireless carrier, cable and video provider, and Interconnected VoIP service provider shall remit the amounts contributed in accordance with the terms established by the fund.
