      Sec. 16-331y. Free service for libraries and schools provided by holder of a certificate of cable franchise authority. A company issued a certificate of cable franchise authority shall provide any library serving the public and any school system, college or university, located in a part of the company's franchise area where service is available, with one outlet for basic community antenna television service or video service at no charge if such library, school system, college or university participates in educational or public access programming offered throughout the company's franchise area. The Department of Public Utility Control may exempt any company with a certificate of cable franchise authority from providing such service at no charge if it would have an adverse impact on such company. No company issued a certificate of cable franchise authority shall be required to provide this free service if the library or school is receiving community antenna television service or video service from another provider.
