Utility Billing Accountability and Consumer Protection Act

Summary

The bill bars electric, gas, and water utilities from altering billing cycles, payment plans, or disconnection rules without prior approval from the South Carolina Public Service Commission. It also creates reporting, audit, and notification requirements, and adds safeguards for low‑income renters and rural households. The goal is to increase transparency, prevent unexpected bill spikes, and protect vulnerable customers.
