AI Summary
This bill aims to improve power quality and reduce harmful radiation from utility infrastructure. It defines key terms like "smart meter," "electric power quality," and "utility provider." The bill prohibits utility providers from selling customer data and requires them to ensure good power quality, adequate grounding, and public exposures within Building Biology guidelines. It also prohibits electric providers from causing objectionable current flow or elevating nearby magnetic fields beyond a certain limit. The bill empowers the Department of Public Utilities to support inspections, set deadlines for corrections, and maintain public records. Additionally, it allows for legal recourse for residents harmed and enables the Attorney General to enforce the provisions, with the potential for punitive fees and prosecution expenses.
