Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to utilities.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Public Utility Commission (PUC) to mandate that every utility bill include two specific pieces of consumer information at the bottom of the bill: (1) the phone numbers for the commission's consumer services, and (2) the website address (in a shortened form) for the commission's online consumer complaint form. The bill will be added to Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) chapter 757, which governs public utilities in the state. By requiring these details on utility bills, the legislation aims to make it easier for consumers to access help and file complaints with the Public Utility Commission, thereby potentially improving consumer protection and communication between utility companies and their customers.
