Summary

This bill would prohibit New York's Public Service Commission from imposing a system benefits charge on ratepayers' utility bills. A system benefits charge is a fee or surcharge that can be added to electric or gas utility bills. The bill would prevent the Public Service Commission from authorizing or requiring utility companies to add this charge to customer bills. Ratepayers would not be assessed this system benefits charge if the bill is enacted. This change would affect how utility rates are structured and billed to customers in New York.
