Bill > HB05936

This bill aims to protect residential and business customers from being charged for electricity after they have moved out or sold a property by prohibiting electric distribution companies from billing customers for service at premises they no longer own or rent. Specifically, once an electric distribution company receives official notice that a customer is no longer the owner or renter of a particular property, the company must stop billing that customer for electricity used at that location. This legislation addresses a common issue where individuals continue to be charged for utility services at properties they no longer occupy, which can create financial burdens and confusion. The bill amends title 16 of the general statutes to codify this consumer protection, ensuring that customers are not held responsible for electric service they did not use after vacating a premises.
