Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to requiring the establishment of utility customer arrears reporting

AI Summary

This bill requires various types of utility providers (including municipalities, water-works corporations, electric corporations, gas corporations, and community water systems) to submit a detailed report to the New York Public Service Commission within 90 days of the bill's effective date. The report must outline the number of customers who are in arrears (have outstanding unpaid bills), specifically detailing how many customers have been in arrears for 90 days or longer, and the total dollar amount of these unpaid customer arrears. The goal of this reporting requirement appears to be to provide the Public Service Commission with comprehensive data about utility payment challenges across different types of utility providers in New York State, which could help inform policy decisions or assistance programs related to utility affordability and customer payment trends.
