Bill > H3468

This bill requires water, electric, gas, and other utility companies to include a comprehensive list of all available billing discounts for seniors, veterans, and persons with disabilities directly on each customer's bill. Specifically, the bill amends three separate chapters of Massachusetts General Laws to mandate that utility providers (including cities, towns, districts, and companies supplying water, electricity, gas, and other services) prominently display information about potential discounts on every bill sent to customers. This requirement aims to improve transparency and ensure that vulnerable populations are aware of potential cost-saving opportunities that they may be eligible for but might not have known about previously. By requiring these discounts to be listed directly on billing statements, the bill makes it easier for seniors, veterans, and individuals with disabilities to identify and potentially take advantage of financial assistance programs that could help reduce their utility expenses.
