New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation Sept. 26 that stops your cell phone company from charging you more for dying. Telecommunications companies and utility providers now can't charge a contract termination or early cancellation fee when a customer dies in the state. "This was a heartless and inappropriate policy that is mostly borne by grieving New Yorkers grappling with the loss of a loved one," Cuomo said in a press release. "Ending these fees is the right thing to do and will spare those in mourning from this annoying burden." Landline, cell phone, television, internet, energy, and water service providers are all prohibited from adding fees to the dead under the bill.
