User Clip: Kilmer speaks about HR 2409

H.R. 2409 ensures servicemembers can terminate their cable, satellite television, and Internet access service contracts while deployed without incurring early termination fees.

Under current law, similar protections are granted to servicemembers with active duty orders for long-term civil agreements, such as rental leases, automobile leases, and cellphone contracts. This legislation would update the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to include pay TV and internet service contracts when they have military orders to move or deploy. While relief provisions do exist in some states, this legislation would enact a policy at the federal level so that all our country’s servicemembers and their families are provided uniform assistance. close
