Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill HB 907 introduces a new section stating that violating the requirements for internet service providers to disclose their access numbers is considered an unlawful practice. Specifically, the bill mandates that internet service providers must clearly inform Illinois consumers if any of their access numbers are outside the local calling area and explain potential charges. This change is significant because it strengthens consumer protections by ensuring that users are aware of possible long-distance charges, helping them avoid unexpected fees.
