    § 399-yy. Cable television company providing telephone services. Every
  cable  television  company,  as defined in section two hundred twelve of
  the public service law, that provides telephone service to customers  in
  New  York shall, at its option: a. allow a customer to use a modified or
  alternative name for a directory  listing  or  b.  waive  the  otherwise
  applicable  charges  for  a  non-published  telephone listing, where the
  customer requests protection of its  identity  in  connection  with  the
  customer's purchase of telephone service and the customer is a victim of
  domestic  violence,  as  defined in section four hundred fifty-nine-a of
  the social services law, and for whose benefit any order of  protection,
  other  than  a temporary order of protection, has been issued by a court
  of competent jurisdiction. This waiver  of  charges  shall  be  for  the
  duration  of  the  applicable,  non-temporary,  order. Any non-published
  listings provided  in  this  section  shall  conform  to  all  the  same
  requirements of other non-published listings. A customer requesting such
  an  accommodation shall provide a copy of the order of protection to the
  applicable  cable  television  company.  Any  customer   requesting   an
  accommodation  pursuant  to  this  section may also request and shall be
  provided, at no cost to the customer,  a  new  telephone  number  within
  fifteen days from the request for such accommodation.
