Relates to termination of service, deferred payment plans and quarterly billing

Summary

It requires utilities to give at least a 30‑day final termination notice after a 45‑day delinquency period and to include clear information on how to avoid shutoff. The bill creates extra protections for elderly, blind or disabled households, mandates deferred payment plans for arrears, and offers a quarterly billing option for low‑income seniors. These measures aim to prevent abrupt service loss and make paying utility bills more manageable for at‑risk New Yorkers.
