Prohibits certain charges by public utilities to customers
Referred: Emerging Issues(H)
Summary
The bill would stop gas, electric, water and sewer utilities from adding fees that are not directly tied to the service they provide, such as promotional advertising, charitable contributions, and lobbying expenses. It also requires utilities to charge customers uniformly, bans special preferences, and sets rules for fire‑hydrant fees, deposit interest, and large‑demand electricity tariffs. The aim is to ensure customers only pay just and reasonable charges.
