A bill for an act relating to certain charges for utility service.

Summary

The bill bars electric, gas and water utilities from adding fees that are not tied to actual consumption, such as franchise, meter or other surcharge fees, and limits bills to usage charges and late‑payment fees only. It applies to most public utilities in the state, including small municipal and cooperative water providers, and aims to lower overall utility costs for households and small businesses. Violations would trigger fines, refunds to customers and possible action by the attorney general.
