Relative to residential solicitation by certain non-utility competitive suppliers of energy. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to amend existing law to prohibit non-utility competitive suppliers of energy (such as telecommunications or utilities companies) from directly contacting prospective residential customers at home or by telephone, unless the customer has requested to be contacted. The key provision is the addition of language that these non-utility suppliers shall not directly contact prospective residential customers without the customer's prior request.
