Enacts the "smart meter transparency and consumer protection act"

Summary

The bill forces utility companies to provide customers with side‑by‑side comparisons of bills before and after smart‑meter installation and plain‑language explanations of any pricing changes. It also directs the Public Service Commission to conduct a comprehensive study on smart‑meter effects—including billing impacts, opt‑out fees, and impacts on seniors and low‑income households—and to issue a public report with policy recommendations within one year. The measure seeks to increase transparency and protect consumers.
