Bill > H0706

This bill adds to existing law to provide that a customer of a public utility may opt out of receiving a smart meter or request that a smart meter be replaced with a traditional meter. The bill defines "smart meter" as an electronic device that records and automatically transmits consumption data to a utility, and "traditional meter" as a device that records consumption but does not automatically transmit data. The bill requires utilities to provide customers an opportunity to opt out of receiving a smart meter, and allows customers to request replacement of a smart meter with a traditional meter. The bill also allows the utility commission to establish a surcharge for customers who opt out or request a replacement meter, to cover the utility's actual costs.
