Relates to protections against utility termination for medical emergencies, life-support equipment and elderly, blind and disabled customers

Summary

The bill requires the Public Service Commission to create rules that prevent utilities from cutting off electricity, gas, or heat to households facing a medical emergency, using life‑support equipment, or containing elderly, blind or disabled residents. Utilities must accept simplified certification forms, act on them within five business days, and automatically approve if they miss the deadline. It also adds reporting requirements and special safeguards during cold‑weather periods.
