An Act amending Title 66 (Public Utilities) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for consumer choice billing; imposing penalties; and making repeals.
Referred to Consumer Protection, Technology & Utilities
Summary
The bill adds a new chapter to Pennsylvania’s public‑utility statutes that authorizes "consumer choice billing," allowing customers who pick an alternative electric generation or natural gas supplier to receive one consolidated bill for all service charges. It directs the state utility commission to adopt temporary rules, adds licensing requirements for suppliers, and sets penalties for non‑compliance. The goal is to expand competition, give consumers more pricing options, and improve protection for those who switch suppliers.
