SB 716: Communications: universal service.

Existing law, the Moore Universal Telephone Service Act, establishes the Universal Lifeline Telephone Service program to provide low-income households with access to affordable basic residential telephone service. The act makes legislative findings and declarations regarding lifeline telephone service, including that every means should be employed by the Public Utilities Commission and telephone corporations to ensure that every household qualified to receive lifeline telephone service is informed of, and is afforded the opportunity to subscribe to, that service.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those findings and declarations.
