Bill > HB1756

This bill amends Pennsylvania's public utilities law to modify the electricity rate provisions for certain nonprofit organizations. Specifically, the bill updates language to replace "electric" and "senior citizen" with more inclusive terms like "service" and "older adult" and removes the requirement that these organizations must execute a contract for a minimum term of one year when requesting utility rates equivalent to residential rates. The affected organizations include volunteer fire companies, nonprofit rescue squads or ambulance services, and nonprofit older adult centers. The legislation will take effect 60 days after its enactment, and its primary purpose appears to be simplifying and expanding access to utility rates for these important community service organizations by removing bureaucratic barriers and using more contemporary terminology.
