AI Summary
This bill amends the Public Utilities Act to clarify when a utility payment is considered officially received. Under the proposed legislation, the date of receipt for a utility bill payment would be defined as either the date the payment or payment instrument is physically presented to the utility (or its agent or vendor) or the date a mailed payment is postmarked. This provision aims to provide clarity and standardization for consumers regarding when their utility payments are considered timely, which could help prevent late fees or service interruptions due to ambiguity about payment dates. By specifying these precise conditions, the bill seeks to protect consumers and create a more transparent process for utility bill payments.
