Bill > A01270

This bill requires public utility companies and municipalities that supply energy to notify their customers when their energy supply rate increases by at least 40% compared to the previous month. Specifically, these entities must conspicuously post information about the rate increase and the percentage of increase on their websites. Additionally, the bill mandates that these utility companies and municipalities must also prominently display on their websites information about all bill assistance programs available to their customers. The purpose of this legislation appears to be increasing transparency for utility customers and ensuring they are aware of significant rate changes and potential financial support options. By requiring online postings, the bill provides a straightforward mechanism for customers to access important information about their energy costs and available assistance, which could help consumers better manage their utility expenses during periods of significant rate increases.
