Summary
Amends the Public Utilities Act. Provides that if gas or electricity is used as the only source of space cooling or to control or operate the only space cooling equipment at a residence, then a utility may not terminate gas or electric utility service to a residential user for nonpayment of bills: (1) on any day when the National Weather Service forecast for the following 24 hours covering the area of the utility in which the residence is located includes a forecast that the temperature will be 85 degrees (rather than 95 degrees) Fahrenheit or above; (2) on any day preceding a holiday or weekend when the National Weather Service for the following 24 hours covering the area of the utility in which the residence is located includes a forecast that the temperature will be 85 degrees (rather than 95 degrees) Fahrenheit or above during the holiday or weekend; or (3) when the National Weather Service issues an excessive heat watch, heat advisory, or excessive heat warning covering the area of the utility in which the residence is located.
House Floor Amendment No. 1
Provides that, if gas or electricity is used for space cooling at a residence, then a utility shall not terminate gas or electric utility service to that residence for the nonpayment of bills on specified days when the forecasted temperature will be greater than or equal to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Under the introduced bill, those disconnections are prohibited when forecasted temperatures are greater than or equal to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
