The Veterans' Telecommunication Protection Act amends the Communications Act of 1934 to mandate that providers of certain services charge veterans' organizations residential rates. This applies to cable service and voice service , excluding commercial mobile services, when the residential rate is lower than the standard commercial rate. The bill defines a "veterans' organization" as any organization recognized by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs under specific federal code. This measure is designed to reduce operational expenses for eligible veterans' organizations by ensuring they receive more favorable pricing for essential communication services, effective upon the act's enactment.
