A state bill is a proposed law in a state legislature — separate from the U.S. Congress. Learn more →
Summary
This bill requires utilities to reconnect electric or gas service to low-income customers who have been disconnected if they sign a payment plan. Under the plan, low-income customers would pay no more than three percent of their monthly income for electric or gas service alone, or six percent for combination electric and gas service, plus their current monthly bill. This provides a pathway for low-income households to restore utility service.
