AI Summary
This bill amends the public housing law to require entities responsible for providing vital services, such as gas, electricity, and water, to coordinate and work quickly to restore service whenever it is interrupted. The bill sets out specific requirements for these entities, including applying for emergency repair permits, coordinating restoration plans with relevant agencies and communicating them to affected residents, and providing monetary compensation or rebates to mitigate the effects of service interruptions. Utility corporations that fail to demonstrate a good faith effort to comply with these provisions could face penalties of $250 per affected occupied unit for each day the service remains interrupted.
