Requires electric public utilities to conduct wellness checks in age-restricted communities during power outages.

Summary

The bill obligates electric public utilities to keep a confidential list of residents in age‑restricted communities who depend on powered medical devices. During a power outage they must prioritize restoring electricity to those residents and, if power cannot be restored within four hours, conduct wellness checks and supply backup power or alternative housing. The goal is to protect vulnerable seniors whose health depends on continuous power.
