AI Summary

This bill, titled "Relative to net metering," proposes changes to how utility companies handle net metering, which is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy, or other renewable energy, generators for the electricity they add to the grid. Specifically, the bill amends existing laws to adjust numerical figures related to net metering provisions. In Section 1, it changes a figure from "4" to "5" in a specific subsection of the General Laws concerning utility regulations. Section 2 further amends the same subsection by changing another figure from "5" to "7." Finally, Section 3 extends a deadline within a 2014 act, changing the date from "March 31, 2015" to "June 1, 2015," likely affecting the implementation or expiration of certain net metering rules.
