Requires certain customer identification to be presented to electric power or gas supplier if customer switches services.
This bill requires residential customers to present specific identification when switching electricity or gas suppliers. Customers must provide either government-issued photo identification or non-photo identification accompanied by a secondary form of ID, such as a current utility bill, bank statement, or credit card displaying their name. Electric and gas suppliers must confirm to the utility that the required ID was provided and cannot request account numbers if valid ID is presented. The bill also mandates a written or electronic signature to authorize the switch, applying to new or renewed contracts after the effective date. It does not restrict suppliers from using other methods for switching services.
