Prohibits utility from billing customer for costs incurred for certain upgrades to utility infrastructure; allows costs for certain upgrades to utility infrastructure be recovered in utility's rate base.

This bill prevents utilities from directly charging customers for infrastructure upgrades required due to customers' natural disaster mitigation projects (like reinforcing property against storms). Instead, it allows utilities to recover these costs through standard rate increases applied to all customers. To qualify, customers must provide a contractor's certification within 90 days confirming the project was for disaster mitigation. The bill affects homeowners who complete such projects and their utility providers, ensuring costs are shared broadly via regulated rates rather than direct billing.
