HB 6301 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT PROHIBITING ELECTRIC SUPPLIERS FROM CHARGING FEES TO SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT ELECTRIC SUPPLIER.

HB 6301 prohibits electric suppliers from charging customers any fee for canceling service or switching to a different electricity provider. It directly affects residential and commercial electricity customers who wish to change suppliers. The bill amends section 16-245o of the general statutes to explicitly ban these switching fees, making it a legal requirement for suppliers. This creates a clear policy change by removing a potential cost barrier for consumers seeking alternative energy providers.
