Introduced

SB 838 - Under this act, wireless service providers may transfer the billing responsibility and rights of a wireless telephone number from a wireless account holder to a petitioner when the petitioner has obtained an order of protection against the account holder. When a wireless service provider cannot operationally or technically effectuate a transfer of billing responsibility due to reasons set forth in this act, the wireless service provider shall notify the petitioner within 72 hours of receiving the request. Upon transferring the billing responsibility and rights of a wireless telephone number, the petitioner shall assume all financial responsibility for the transferred wireless telephone numbers, including costs set forth in this act.

This act does not affect the ability of the court to apportion assets under law, or to determine temporary use, possession, and control of personal property. Further, under this act no cause of action shall exist against a wireless service provider for actions taken under the authority of this act.
