Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to requiring utilities to automatically enroll customers over the age of fifty-five in any available savings programs

AI Summary

This bill mandates that within two years of its enactment, utility companies providing electric, gas, or steam service must automatically enroll any customer who is over fifty-five years of age into any available discount or savings programs they offer, unless the customer chooses to opt out. The monthly bills of these enrolled customers will clearly show which programs they are part of and the amount saved, and utilities must advertise these programs on their websites. The "commission" referred to in the bill is likely the Public Service Commission, the state agency that oversees utility companies.
