HB 1599 -- Anticramming Protection Act

Sponsor:  Walsh

This bill establishes the Anticramming Protection Act which
prohibits telecommunications companies from billing customers for
miscellaneous products or services that were added to a
customer's bill without his or her approval.  A customer may
notify the Attorney General or the Missouri Public Service
Commission if a telecommunication provider fails to comply with
this provision.  The Attorney General may bring a civil action
against a company who violates this provision to enjoin the
practice, enforce compliance, or obtain damages or other relief.

These provisions will apply only to the extent not preempted by
federal law.
