Creates provisions that allow for transfer of utility service to a spouse of the account holder without additional fees under certain circumstances

Summary

The bill lets a utility company transfer service to the account holder’s spouse without charging a deposit or transfer fee if the account is current and the holder dies, is deported, or is jailed for over 30 days. A deposit can still be required if the spouse has recent unpaid bills, prior unauthorized use, or cannot prove identity, and utilities may ask for marriage or residency proof.
