Prohibits electric, gas, or water public utility service discontinuances to residential customers during certain epidemics.

Summary

The bill bars public utilities from disconnecting residential electric, gas, or water service because a bill isn’t paid while the state is in an epidemic emergency, unless the utility itself faces an emergency. It also requires utilities to restore service to customers who were disconnected before the epidemic if they remain at the same address. After the governor ends the emergency, customers must still pay any outstanding balances.
