Prince George's County - Termination of Gas or Electric Service to Multifamily Dwelling Units - Notification PG 406-25

HB 353 requires gas and electric companies to notify both the property manager and local county officials before cutting service to a multifamily dwelling unit (like an apartment building) in Prince George’s County due to nonpayment. This applies only when the tenant has given written consent for the property manager to receive termination notices and the unit uses a master meter or submeter. The law mandates that companies establish procedures for this notification process, which must be completed before service is disconnected. The bill takes effect October 1, 2026, directly affecting utility providers, landlords, and county elected officials in Prince George’s County.
