Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to requiring investor-owned energy utilities publish on its customer-facing website both its promotional and educational materials
AI Summary
This bill enacts the "Utility Materials Disclosure Act", which requires investor-owned energy utilities (including gas, electric, and combination gas and electric corporations) to publish and file all of their promotional and educational materials on their customer-facing websites. Specifically, utilities must create a publicly accessible webpage listing these materials with their original titles and publication dates, and keep these materials posted online for three years. The materials must be both published on the utility's website and filed with the public service commission. If a utility fails to comply with these requirements, they may be subject to penalties or sanctions under existing public service law. The bill will take effect 30 days after becoming law, and regulatory agencies are authorized to prepare implementation rules and regulations in advance of the effective date. This legislation aims to increase transparency by ensuring customers have easy access to informational and promotional materials produced by their energy utility providers.
