Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to the reconnection of service for low-income customers
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to create a new provision for reconnecting utility service for low-income customers who are unable to pay their full arrears, meaning the total amount owed that led to their service being shut off. Specifically, it mandates that a utility company must reconnect service if a low-income customer signs a reconnection plan where their payment is limited to no more than ten percent of their monthly income plus their current monthly bill. This aims to provide a more affordable pathway for vulnerable customers to regain essential services.
