Bill > HB757

This bill introduces new consumer protection measures for natural gas and electricity sales in Pennsylvania, focusing on regulating in-person solicitations and sales practices. Specifically, the bill restricts door-to-door and in-person sales of natural gas and electric power to specific hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday), and requires suppliers to provide customers with the option to verify solicitation activities by sharing their contact information with both the supplier and the distribution company. The legislation also prohibits suppliers from executing contracts during the initial sales meeting unless the customer initiates the interaction. Contracts must be finalized at a mutually agreed-upon location after the initial meeting, which could include the customer's home, the supplier's business, or another location. These new requirements are intended to be in addition to and potentially supersede existing Public Utility Commission orders and regulations, aimed at protecting consumers from aggressive or potentially deceptive sales tactics in utility markets. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, giving natural gas and electricity suppliers time to adjust their sales practices to comply with the new rules.
