Bill > HB06301

This bill aims to modify section 16-245o of the general statutes to prohibit electric suppliers from charging customers any fees when they decide to cancel their service or switch to a different electric supplier. Currently, some electric suppliers may impose charges or penalties when customers want to change their electricity provider, which can create a financial barrier to switching. By eliminating these fees, the bill seeks to give consumers more freedom to choose their electric supplier without being financially penalized for doing so. The proposed change would protect customers by ensuring they can explore different electricity options without incurring additional costs, potentially promoting more competition among electric suppliers and potentially providing consumers with more affordable or better service options.
