Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to information regarding certain charges for services provided by municipally owned utility systems.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Government Code to require municipalities that impose operating, maintenance, replacement, or improvement charges on their utility systems to provide greater transparency about these charges. Specifically, municipalities must publish the terms and conditions of these charges on both the utility system's and the municipality's websites, and update these websites within 30 days of making any changes to the charges. This requirement aims to give utility customers easier access to information about the fees they are paying, ensuring that changes in utility charges are promptly and publicly communicated. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, giving municipalities time to prepare and implement the new transparency requirements. The proposed changes will help residents better understand the financial aspects of their local utility services and any modifications to associated charges.
