AN ACT relating to protection from extreme weather conditions.
SB 137 prohibits Kentucky utility companies from disconnecting or suspending residential electricity, water, or gas service during "extreme weather conditions," defined as days with National Weather Service Extreme Cold or Excessive Heat Warnings, or periods of declared natural disasters in the customer's county. This directly affects residential utility customers in Kentucky during specified severe weather events. The bill requires utilities to maintain service during these conditions and directs the Public Service Commission to establish implementing rules. It does not change utility rates or create new fees, focusing solely on maintaining service continuity during weather emergencies.
