A 5153 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to advanced metering infrastructure devices for residential services

This bill sets safety and performance standards for smart meters used by electric and gas utilities in residential settings. It requires all advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) devices to meet FCC, ANSI, and commission-established standards for radio frequency safety, meter accuracy, and customer data encryption. The law guarantees residential customers the right to refuse two-way smart meter installation without fees or penalties, and to request removal within 365 days of installation at no cost. Utilities must provide 90 days' written notice before installing two-way meters, detailing these customer rights.
